Well, this is good solution for me. But what if there were 2 (or more) users of one computer and first one would like to have it hidden but second one would like to have it shown. C'mon, would it really be that hard to make it configurable? To program one submenu with one or two checkboxes is question of at most 5 minutes and it would really help. Or would you like users to yell "Hey, ubuntu is piece of * as you can't remove IM status indicator without removing shoutdown menu", "you can't remove envelope stuff without removing volume control". Not all ubuntu's users know this cannot be hidden as they just watch the screenshot someone makes. That could be why they don't report this as well, but when the final version is released, I believe this will be number one people will hate about Ubuntu. Not everyone want to be "part" of social networks. But gess what, Sebastian, they won't fix it. They do not want to. As they didn't want to fix that wallperer included in Ubuntu 8.10 with visible steps in gradients as I reported half year ago, because it would add 1MB to ISO image (which could be saved by not including mono and by including better alternatives not dependent on mono). New wallpaper contains them again and wallpaper is among first things users notice and it's part of "first impression". And when you see the wallpaper, you just say - hey, they don't care what people think. And they removed gimp (a lot of saved space), but not because of wallpaper, but to include social piece of *. Why don't they just make better wallpaper. What is problem with some kind of "nature" in the wallpaper. There are not that visible jpeg artefacts. On "one color" wallpaper, there are. They just release it, because they get money from sponsors, not from most of their users. They are not releasing Ubuntu for people, they are releasing it for themselves. That is why they won't fix this bug as well.
