Nor sure if this is a sidux bug, an xfce bug or a firestarter bug, so here goes...
Installed firestarter firewall (apt-get install firestarter) and noted that according to the wizard (and manual), firestarter should show tray icons indicating firewall status. However, on sidux amd64 xfce, it doesn't.
I can see firestarter is still running as a process after I close the app window through conky...
Any idea(s) on how to fix? |

maybe you can use stalonetray. it's a "stand alone tray" program for non-tray desktop.
see info with
apt-cache show stalonetray
and to install with
apt-get install stalonetray |

Yeah, I don't think I want to go down that road...
although Firestarter web site claims the tray icon works in xfce (http://www.fs-security.com/screenshots.php), they give explicit instructions on how to set it up for gnome and kde, but no instructions for xfce. http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon
I suspect an xfce tray plugin is required.
I may have to look for a different firewall for sidux xfce, various things don't seem to work with this one. |

You are correct! Right click the taskbar>Add new item>System Tray.
I just installed Firestarted on a 32bit version and it is displayed in the systray. |
