When I run ktorrent (2.0 beta 1) on gnome, it starts but there is no gui. I am running gentoo, newest kernel... etc. When running from command line it prints out that it is already running. When run with --nofork, same thing happens - no gui.

Is there a solution, other than running kde?

Are you sure it is not running minimized in the system tray ?

At the danger of sounding stupid, does gnome have a system tray?

KTorrent does not show up in the window list so it seems like that is what KTorrent is trying to do, but I do not have a visible system tray so I cannot activate it. Is there a way to make it maximized from the commandline?

Isn't that on the top bar ? Maybe you can even add one to a bar ? I'm not a gnome person, maybe somebody else can enlighten us ?

I have looked through dcop to see if there is some method to do this, but I haven't found one. Maybe you can just try to kill it with the commandline or the some gnome system monitor thingy. And then restart it.

Yeah, you were right. The gnome thingy that does this is the Notification Area panel thingy. It works now . Thanks.

Oh one more thing. Is the UPnP issue resolved in the beta? For me, it still doesn't work. But maybe my router is just ****...

If you run ktupnptest what output do you get ? It's a small test program which attempts to forward a port.
