Thank you for your attention, and trying to replicate it. I'll join Oracles Vbox forums and see if they have any ideas.phenest wrote:I'm sure you're getting frustrated. Who wouldn't?

Sorry I can't be of help. Except mine was a clean install of Jessie with XFCE for testing this. If that means anything.

Re: Virtualbox upgrade causes second entry in Xfce taskbar
As of vbox 5.1.20 I have the same issue with XFCE showing two instance per VM running.
I described the problem on the vbox forum - it's identical to OPs issue - but no reply yet:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic ... 15#p391413
Also, the issue persists in 5.1.22, though that's expected as I've not filed, nor seen a bug filed, for this issue yet.

Re: Virtualbox upgrade causes second entry in Xfce taskbar
I created a test scenario. I installed Debian Jessie in a VM. In that I installed XFCE and VirtualBox 5.1.20 from Oracle. I started VB and created 2 VM's which I then started.
Result: 3 taskbar buttons. 1 for VB and 1 button for each VM.

Re: Virtualbox upgrade causes second entry in Xfce taskbar
Thank you for taking time trying to reproduce this!Assume you used the Window Buttons panel item? Had you fully updated the guest Jessie packages as well and/or installed via the Debian 8.8 media?phenest wrote:I created a test scenario. I installed Debian Jessie in a VM.

Interesting indeed that this is not affecting everyone with Jessie/XFCE/Window Buttons. I tried adjusting a number of the Windows Buttons options to no avail. This issue persists after reboot, logout, and outright killing xfce4-panel.
I don't believe it's got anything to do with Debian as this occurred as of only 5.1.20 Virtualbox, and I have been on the 5.1.x series since 5.1.8. Not seeing anything obvious process-wise either:
Code: Select all
$ ps -ef | egrep -i "[v]box|[v]irt"
root 7610 2 0 11:10 ? 00:00:00 [iprt-VBoxWQueue]
root 7614 2 0 11:10 ? 00:00:00 [iprt-VBoxTscThr]
xxxx 7696 1 0 11:10 ? 00:00:02 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD
xxxx 7701 1 0 11:10 ? 00:00:07 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC --auto-shutdown

Thanks again for looking at this.

I'd like to add that, as each VM was started, a 2nd button did appear but immediately disappeared.

Re: Virtualbox upgrade causes second entry in Xfce taskbar
I have not explored this much further, but I'd like to note that this only happens when full screen. It seems to be the Virtualbox popup panel that creates the second XFCE panel button. I believe this because the extra panel button can be closed, which results in no pop-up Virtualbox panel when you have that VM full screen.

Thanks, yes I should have mentioned that I've suspected the mini toolbar changes are the culprit, in particular this changelog item:No_windows wrote:I have not explored this much further, but I'd like to note that this only happens when full screen.
