The upstream behavior is to use the icon "im-message-new" for new messages , The icon name "notification-message-im" is an ubuntu specific icon name from the notify-osd icon set. Symlinking the humanity icon for a notify-osd icon it is not the right fix .
Weird , though since it was working fine when I included an im-message- new icon and tested it during Karmic release. [this was pre-karmic release and there was no problem with the notification area icon]. The indicator-applet patch ,that added the messaging menu support, might be the problem here , the fallback is not working right. and *should not* use the icon name "notification-message-im" , which is intended for the notify-osd notifications alone. ** Changed in: humanity-icon-theme (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Icon missing for notification flash when indicator applet isn't used. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533109 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
