Public bug reported: This problem started about a week ago and occurs often, but not always:
When logging into Gnome, the notification area doesn't load any applet icons into the area where they are supposed to appear, but instead these applets appear on the desktop like 'ordinary' applications. See the attached screenshot for an example. Logging out and back in doesn't seem to solve the problem, rebooting sometimes does. This problem seems to be user-specific, because when I log in using a different account, the problem doesn't occur. I tried removing and re- adding the notification area to the upper bar on the problematic account, but that doesn't solve the problem. I'm filing this as a bug because naturally, such a problem should never occur. Perhaps (probably?) this problem is related to some config setting having been corrupted somehow, so please tell me which files to attach / investigate. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- notification area won't hold applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
