This was supposed to be fixed in mgaonline 3.22 thanks to this commit:

http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/mgaonline/commit/?id=b3caeb94

And in fact, this was working fine on my patched machine before it installed 3.22. I unfortunately didn't do a VM snapshot before updating to 3.22, so I cannot do a diff of mgaapplet to see why the behavior changed. I will investigate.

Summary: Mga Applet update does not display the menu when you right-click on it. => mgaapplet does not display the menu anymore when you right-click on it when the icon is in the 'okay' state

If I kill the applet and start a new one manually from a shell, right-clicks are working fine. But the applet launched when the session starts does not display the context menu when right-clicking on it. No idea why.

When I do a right-click on the applet icon, a tiny pixel is displayed, which makes me think that it correctly gets the context-menu signal, but is unable to display the context menu.

I found what was missing. Patch coming! :)

The fix will be available in mgaonline-3.25

Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Reopening as the fixed Mageia 6 package still needs to be tested and validated by the QA. Will use the same report for the equivalent drakx-net fix.

Advisory:
=========

Updated drakx-net and mgaonline packages fix context menu on Plasma

  The context menus for net_applet (part of drakx-net) and mgaapplet (part of
  mgaonline) were not properly uninitialized on Plasma, leading to non-working
  right-click systray icon (mga#20911). This update fixes it.
