(09:18:21 AM) rickspencer3: mt logged this bug, apparantly he thinks the MI is
installing in the wrong
(09:18:22 AM) rickspencer3: place
(09:18:44 AM) sabdfl: there is a special place in hell reserve for the designer
of gnome-panel, in this regard
(09:18:54 AM) rickspencer3: hehe
(09:19:02 AM) rickspencer3: this is only on fresh installs, btw
(09:19:04 AM) sabdfl: mt probably isn't aware of the underlying mess
(09:19:09 AM) rickspencer3: not considering the upgrade case
(09:19:15 AM) sabdfl: the problem is that the notification area grows
(09:19:23 AM) sabdfl: and the panel would thus move icons around
(09:19:32 AM) rickspencer3: mm, right
(09:19:43 AM) sabdfl: and you end up with a messaging menu that's weirdly
spaced to the left
(09:19:47 AM) sabdfl: if it's on the far left
(09:19:51 AM) sabdfl: i suspect that's why it's not
(09:20:05 AM) sabdfl: *perhaps* we should have done the messaging menu as a
notification area bit
(09:20:14 AM) sabdfl: so that it would just drop itself into the list
(09:20:23 AM) rickspencer3: mm
(09:20:32 AM) rickspencer3: I know that everyone is on holiday
(09:20:38 AM) ted: We're not making that change for Jaunty! :)
(09:20:42 AM) rickspencer3: so I propose I mark the bug as invalid
(09:20:44 AM) sabdfl: heh, hi ted
(09:20:49 AM) sabdfl: wontfix
(09:21:01 AM) rickspencer3: we can follow up on Tuesday
(09:21:12 AM) rickspencer3: ack
(09:21:13 AM) sabdfl: also, the original rationale for it being on the left was
because, originally, it would only appear when you had a message
(09:21:14 AM) rickspencer3: tx
(09:21:24 AM) sabdfl: we changed that, to accommodate buddy list revelation
(09:21:37 AM) rickspencer3: kenvandine ^^^^
(09:21:44 AM) sabdfl: and went down a whole different path (bi-state icon etc)
that gets us to launchers in the messaging menu in 9.10 :-)
(09:21:51 AM) rickspencer3: okay
(09:22:05 AM) sabdfl: so i don't think we'll place it on the far left in the
long run anyway
(09:22:19 AM) sabdfl: hmm... maybe copy this into the bug and say invalid
** Changed in: indicator-applet (Ubuntu Jaunty)
