DP1 bottom: only workspace names\r\n4. VGA1 bottom: only workspace names\r\n\r\nThe issue is that my tray icons are totally messed up, icons show up on places where there is no bar at all:\r\n* keepassX is on the top left corner of DP1.\r\n* dropbox and GMPC are bottom right of VGA1.\r\n* nothing is on the right of laptop's top bar where all of them should be (eDP1 top).\r\n* skype's icon is not shown at all.\r\n\r\nNow, when I open up a new window on DP1, the keepasx icon is not visible at all, you can only see it on the empty workspace.\r\n\r\nNow, sometimes skype is where keepassx's icon is placed, sometimes they are all in the correct spot, sometimes they change their positions after i3 restart... it appears to be totally random.\r\n\r\nRestarting i3 dows not resolve the problem, they just reshuffle totally weird.\r\n![i3](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/558257/9409118/dc472a0a-480f-11e5-9558-4d889ea559db.jpg)\r\n\r\nI use regular i3status package on arch, while for i3 I use i3-wm-iconpatch
