I don't think the originator of this question was "stupid" at all and the use of such derogatory language is unprofessional. Just because Mr Trefny hasn't experienced this problem does NOT mean that it is non- existent.
I have FREQUENTLY found that applications which launch automatically upon login and minimise into the system tray will sometimes be missing from the tray when the user logs on. The applications which I have found doing this so far are easycrypt, amsn and skype They are all running but their GUI cannot be accessed as the icons just aren't there. Repeated shutdowns don't fix the problem. The icons MIGHT come back one day but there is never a guarantee. This problem has occurred on my machine a number of times over the past few months and it is quite disruptive. This may be an issue with the applications themselves, but when three applications disappear from the systray simultaneously I'd be thinking that Gnome is where the problem arises. I run Ubuntu 7.10 with Gnome 2.20.1 on an AMD64 and this is the only erratic behaviour I experience on the system I don't have a "fix" for the problem yet, but it is REAL not imaginary. -- When I minimize a program it just disappears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187842 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
