Zenity --notify (or better --trayicon Bug #884011) may just always listen on stdin, and provide an --exit-on-click option enable user feedback.
This would remove the asumption that --listen means to continusly listening to commands on stdin. It would provide the calling script with a feedback upon user action (zenity exits), while being able to modify the status. Ideally, zenity could also accept an "exit" or "quit" command on stdin, in addition to Ctrl-C or closing the file descriptor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387984 Title: Notifications using --listen should allow clicking to remove the icon Status in Zenity: Expired Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: zenity Zenity --notification (or better --trayicon Bug #884011) may just always listen on stdin, and provide an --exit-on-click option to enable user feedback. This would remove the asumption that --listen always means to endlessly listen to commands on stdin.

Ideally, zenity could also accept an "exit" or "quit" command on stdin, in addition to Ctrl-C or closing the file descriptor. --- The follwing issues that got mixed into this report seem fixed, or are intended behavior: "zenity --notification --listen" can't show multi lines tooltip. But as cmd line parameter is works fine: zenity --notification --text $'line1\nline2' "zenity --notification" does not have command line parameter for "message" This does not work: zenity --notification --title hi Also this does not work: echo 'message:hi' | zenity --notification But this works: echo 'message:hi' | zenity --notification --listen "zenity --notification --listen" does not exit (does nothing) on click on notification icon But without "--listen", when notification icon is clicked, zenity does exit. "zenity --notification" man page does not tell about icon and message, does not explain about tooltip. Man page say only: "--text" set the notification text (message or tooltip?)
