Re: Mystery Icon on Panel
That looks like it is a system tray icon for a gnome application because of the different colored background, for some reason it didn't load properly. Figure out what gnome applications (or gtk for that matter) that you are using, that should narrow the source of it down a bit for you. -Jared On Wednesday 12 May 2004 09:25 pm, Jeff Coppock wrote: > I have this icon, kind-of, on my panel.

It must have gotten messed up from one of my recent upgrades. I killed "knotes -session..." process which removed the mystery icon, and then started it from the menu. jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
Mystery Icon on Panel
I have this icon, kind-of, on my panel. It's the pale box between the Korganizer and Kopete icons in the attached jpg file. I can't figure out what it is. It doesn't respond to any mouse actions. Can some help me figure out what it is and how to either activate or remove it? The system is running Testing. thanks, jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User <>

I think it was /dev/sda8 actually, but maybe I'm mistaken. Is hotplug supposed to spot edit fstab and create this mountpoint or something? I don't have a /mnt/camera or a fstab entry; neither of which is a problem unless something was supposed to have created them for me already.
