I was sure there was a reason I couldn't find it anywhere. If you permit my two cents, my use case for this bug is a little more specific. I have multiple screens with multiple instances of the system tray widget. It would be nice to be able to set it disabled on one off them and while keeping enabled on the other. Maybe the option could confirm that there is at least an instance of system tray where the icon is present and prevent the removal (or message about the problem) only in the last one. I have no idea on the work it presents but this is my perspective as an user, hope it helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
