no icon in taskbar raspberry pi

[trevorjharris]

Ah!! I thought I solved this but I think I have identified a problem. It seems I can only get the icon in the taskbar if only one desktop is running. I use 3 ways of connecting to the desktop console, xrdb and nomachine. The first desktop I start is ok but subsequent desktops dont not display in the taskbar. Eg if I start with the console it is ok. If I now loging with xrdb it will not display in the xrdb desktop. If I now log out of the console I can double click on the xrdb icon and the icon in the task bar will appear and so on..... So it seems minimserver interface can only work on one desktop at a time. Might explane I was getting so confused about this problem. I guess for most people it would not be an issue.
