Cannot add multiple "Notification Area"s about mate-panel

[rilian-la-te]

No, XEMBED can be active only for one instance per X screen. For SNI, as @lukefromdc said, it is possible to show multiple tray instances. I tested SNI with both sntray applet and traditional MATE SNI, and both works together on one panel.

It cannot be possible, if we using XEMBED at least.

Then the "Add" button should be disabled for the "Notification Area" if it has already been added, right?

[lukefromdc]

With in-process builds of the notification area applet, you can indeed load multiple instances of it, though only SNI icons (which do not use Xembed) will appear on it. That is essentially the same behavior as on wayland, in which case any number of instances of the applet should indeed work, but traditional tray icons (which use Xembed) are excluded.

Thank you for your technical feedback.

Can they be included?

[lukefromdc]

I do not know enough about xembed to answer that one.
