I agree it doesn't look very good when you log in. Apparently StartupNotify=true has been there for some time (since 2.14.3-3), and is set explicitely so that a busy cursor is displayed...
What seems new in recent upgrades is that the "Starting Power Manager" taskbar item remains active for quite some time, even on speedy hardware... must be slower to start than it used to ? Or maybe it didn't display a taskbar item before ? Chris: if you agree that StartupNotify wasn't false in pre Intrepid releases, could you update the bug title (I'd propose : "Starting Power Manager" shouldn't show up on login) ? My feeling is that the problem lies elsewhere, and setting StartupNotify=false just works around it. -- StartupNotify should be false in gnome-power-manager desktop file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
