clist_meta_mw prevents autostart of Gadu-Gadu

[AlexL]

Hello.

I have some strange thing.

On my home computer (no firewall, no proxy) plugin "clist_meta_mw.dll" prevents connecting of Gadu-Gadu during starting up. All other network plugins start OK.

After startup I can manually set my general (or private Gadu-Gadu's) status to online, and then Gadu-Gadu connects OK.

I have no problems of autostart of Gadu-Gadu using "clist_classic.dll" instead of "clist_meta_mw.dll".

If it is important, I use icons from "protocols" directory of "cristal" icons set.

End of report.

I'm not attaching network log file for a simple reason: there is no single byte in it relating Gadu-Gadu plugin during startup. E.g., if I delete all network plugins except Gadu-Gadu, the log file becomes zero length. Of course, if I manually connect to Gadu-Gadu after startup, the log file contains the appropriate information, but I assume it is not relevant in this case.

I found a workaround using "StartupStatus" plugin. Using this plugin helps to overcome the problem. But I think something is still bad.

Dancing around header of Gadu-Gadu status menu did not help me. Maybe I chose a wrong dance?

Thank you.

Yes... it's the bug inherited from clist_mw... it shouldn't happen on clist based on clist_classic and I know that it was repaired in clist_modern... since clist_meta_mw is no longer being developed (actually it's called clist_modern now) I think it's best for you to change the clist plugin you use... I'm using clist_mw with the latest nightly build and haven't seen this problem for a while now...

Thanks. Indeed, on the moment of writing the complain, I already moved to "clist_modern" - first for experiment, then - for using. Though I brought some critics on the "clist_modern" page (in comments) in order to make some balance between positive and negative opinions, seems this plugin is good.
