It's obvious Canonical is notgoing to listen to it's users here, so I have taken the steps necessary to make Ubuntu/Unity a usable environment. I have reverted this change and posted a ppa here:
https://launchpad.net/~timekiller/+archive/unity-systrayfix to use it, of course: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timekiller/unity-systrayfix sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade In addition, I have atached the diff necessary to back this change out. I plan to maintain the above PPA, but if for whatever reason I can't, or someone wants to roll their own Unity packages with this change reverted, here are the very easy steps: save attached diff mkdir my-unity cd my-unity bzr branch lp:ubuntu/unity cd unity patch -p1 < <path-to-saved-diff> debuild -i -us -uc -b cd .. dpkg -i *.deb Problem solved. ** Patch added: "Revert removal of systray whitelist" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/974480/+attachment/3527339/+files/re-whitelist.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974480 Title: Notification area whitelist is obsolete To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/974480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
