also... "We have good usability information that says that notification areas are swamps. They are swamps on Windows, and swamps in all the Linux distributions."
I use many, many programs at once, filling my three desktops, and I can safely say that I've never been annoyed with the notification area being clogged up. So far, the closest I've gotten to "swamped" is the following in the notification area: Pidgin, Thunderbird, Songbird, qJackctl, and Ardour. I have NO PROBLEM with that, and I love being able to send my apps to hide there. On Windows, I go nuts typing the command "msconfig" so that I can further clean up the mess that is the startup applications so I can clean up the task bar. I have never had a problem with the notification area in Ubuntu other than VLC (and that was easily fixable) -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
