With no indicator applet, this causes empathy to draw an icon in the notification area.
so the bug can be restated as: With no indicator applet in gnome-panel and with the default options set (i.e. "show incoming messages in the messaging menu"), on clicking the 'close' button on the empathy main UI, empathy will remain running but without any visual indication it is doing so. Suggested solution: When deciding whether to draw an icon in the notification area, take into account both the "show incoming messages in the messaging menu" preference and whether or not the indicator applet is running. Additionally: When there is no indicator applet nor notification area loaded in the panel, the behaviour of the close button should change. It should either exit the application (as per HIG), perhaps prompting the user for confirmation (since this is not the usual behaviour) or minimize the application (functionally equivalent to "docking" the app in the notification area or indicator applet, and the behaviour chosen by MSN messenger in Windows 7) -- empathy can be running without a visible UI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
