I've not read all you rant but the message indicator is an applet which is used by a specific lib, it has nothing to do with the notification area and rhyhtmbox got no distro change so whatever you have with rhythmbox is not the due this one
-- Closing or removing indicator-applet does not restore correct GNOME behavior https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346159 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Indicator Applet Developers, which is the registrant for Indicator Applet. Status in Indicator Applet: New Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If I remove indicator-applet from the panel or uninstall it entirely, programs that are supposed to have an icon in the system tray simply close. I find the behavior of the applet clunky and incorrect, and think that really there should be a setting somewhere that lets you disable it. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
