Sebastien, among the 8 comments you mention there is described a workaround which interested users (I guess every users who is interested in this bug) can use to get what they want quickly and somewhat painlessly. They also made clear that a fix at ubuntu level is unlikely, even if I would find it nice to have. I don't consider this bringing no value, especially the workaround provided. People look into bugreports for this kind of things too until there is a nice fix released.
>- the example you mention are just opinion on the topic, there is no reason to consider the notification area as a part of the application rather than an indication of the fact that the application is running There is no reason to consider the notification area icon as only an indicator either. The guidelines might say that, but all the other applications I use consider the notification area icon as part of the application, then I assume this should be true for all the applications. That's what a coerent user interface should allow you to do, and it should be the goal of any desktop environment. Rhythmbox is an exception to the usual user experience with applications with notification area icon. And even if this would not have been the case, given the number of users interested in this I'd say adding this option would make Rhythmbox a better software. About the "patch" you mention, I don't understand what needs to be patched. Rhythmbox itself does not need any patch, just the plugin needs to be included in the release (I don't care if it's from upstream or added by ubuntu). -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
