the trayicon of my app on linux it's not working.

Hello,

In my app I create a trayicon and display a menu in it. This works perfectly on Windows but when I try it on Linux it doesn't work.
in my desktop (Linux Ubuntu 14.04) the trayicon appears on the right side of the bar, perfectly, but when I double click it doesn't do anything and it's not showing the menu either, hoe ever when I try it in my laptop also with ubuntu14.04 the trayicon appears on the left side of the bar but it does show the menu and responds when I double click it.

this it's my code for the trayicon

if (QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable())
{
  trayIcon = new QSystemTrayIcon(this);
  trayIcon->setIcon(QIcon(":/images/Imagenes/iconosPERFQ-23.png"));
  trayIcon->setToolTip(tr("PerfQ Client"));
  trayIcon->setVisible(true);
  logoutAction = new QAction(tr("&Logout"), this);
  trayIconMenu = new QMenu(this);
  trayIconMenu->addAction(logoutAction);
  trayIcon->setContextMenu(trayIconMenu);
  connect (logoutAction,SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(logout()));
  connect(trayIcon, SIGNAL(activated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason)),
                 this, SLOT(iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason)));
}

and this it's the slot

void Client::iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason)
{
  switch (reason)
  {
    case QSystemTrayIcon::DoubleClick:
      QMessageBox::information(this,"Double Click", "Double click has been press on trayicon");
      break;
    default:
      ;
  }
}

and this code it's working perfectly in Windows, it's there another way to do this on the UNIX OS

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you using your distribution Qt or did you install in using the package from Qt's web site ? If the later, please try again using Ubuntu's Qt

Hi,

thanks.

I'm using qt creator to develop my app. I have no idea how to use Ubuntu's Qt, could you help out a little. I didn't even know this was an option.
