QSystemTrayIcon.showMessage() is missplaced on the screen
Message 1 in thread
On my ubuntu pc (7.10) the showMessage balloon is not located on the
tray icon, but rather missplaced somewhere on the top/left corner of the
screen.
Is there a way around this ?

Hi Børge,
This is usually related to the window mananger more than the os. I've
tried to reproduce this with latest compiz in the three settings off,
normal and "esthetically pleasing" modes, and in all cases the
positioning is correct. Same under KDE. Which window manager / version
are you using?

This is rather strange, as we're using the same setup then.
Some things to check:
* Could you try this with the qtjambi online webstart demos, and see
if these reproduce this behaviour also?
* If you have no other apps running, is the problem still present.
* Could you run it on desktop 0, preferably without multiple desktops
enabled.
* Could you print out the value of QSystemTrayIcon.geometry() and
check how that corresponds with the actual screen position.
best regards,
Gunnar
