no testing rc1?

in the notification area in the right side of the taskbar, does it show a small arrow?  it groups some hidden icons on the system tray, you can click it and see the hidden icons

if you don't see the system tray, maybe you removed it?

The little arrow do not show the icons.
I have not removed the system tray.
Have started radiotray and it is running but no icon so can not hear the music.

with some apps like that you can set them to not show in the system tray, can you verify with both, in the options of each one?

Just a thought OleWilly - try right clicking over the System Tray and choose System Tray Settings.

Now looking in the Display section see if there are any entries you want - if there are tick to enable them.

If you don't see anything in the Display section go to the Entries section and you'll see three options Auto / Hidden / Always Visible

Enable the one's to suit

What if you remove the system tray from your panel and then add it again?

Right-click on it and select "Remove this System Tray"

Then right-click again on the panel and select "Panel Options" -> "Add Widgets"

Go to the "Windows & Tasks" category or type "System Tray" in the search box.

Does this procedure solve the problem?

Inserting System Tray does not find anything..  :'(

One thing you might try is to add another default panel. Right click on the Cashew in the panel and choose Add Panel>Defualt Panel.

If I start radiotray from a terminal I get this:

[ole@localhost ~]$ radiotray
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/radiotray/DbusFacade.py:22: DeprecationWarning: Importing dbus.glib to use the GLib main loop with dbus-python is deprecated.
Instead, use this sequence:

    from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop

    DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)

  import dbus.glib

Terminated

But I need to terminate via terminal or the procesmanager. In fact radiotray is useless without a working tray  :'(
