[Bug 868948] Re: panel applets adopt menubar colours

2011-10-08 Thread frankwakeman
I think I've been able to ascertain that the problem is not with the light-themes package (though they too do have the issues I referred to when used with Gnome Classic). Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04 don't have the issue I describe, I've tested this twice with a couple of different themes which don't

That's right, there is no issue in Unity of this description. I briefly tried the 11.10 beta but I saw only options for Unity and Unity 2D sessions so I can't comment. I could be mistaken but I didn't see an option for a Gnome Classic login with 11.10. I feel a bit concerned that this aesthetic is

[Bug 868948] [NEW] panel applets adopt menubar colours

2011-10-06 Thread frankwakeman
Public bug reported: With some themes if you right-click on panel applet icons on the right hand side like the clock, volume icon etc (for example to remove an applet), the colour scheme of the menu then shown follows those specified in gtkrc files for the menubar, in other words the strip of menu

[Bug 513464] [NEW] Network Manager fails to appear on the panel

2010-01-27 Thread frankwakeman
Public bug reported: Several times, and not consistently, when I boot up Ubuntu 9.10 or Linux Mint 8 there is a gap on the panel where the Network Manager should be. I have to press alt PRTSC K or reboot to get it back. I use Mobile Broadband, whether or not that is relevant, but the dongle isn't

[Bug 511578] [NEW] fonts in kubuntu not in line with ubuntu improvements

2010-01-23 Thread frankwakeman
Public bug reported: As of 9.04, the font rendering in regular Ubuntu has been perfect, possibly better than Windows and certainly better than Mac. Mysteriously other distros have not plundered whatever file is responsible and still have the ugly colour fringing still present in Ubuntu 8.10. Howe

[Bug 511576] [NEW] (k)hetwork Manager & Mobile Broadband, nothing happens

2010-01-23 Thread frankwakeman
Public bug reported: For the last two editions of Kubuntu my means of getting online, with Mobile Broadband dongles (first Vodafone, then T-mobile, but also '3' which I had briefly) has been impossible. I set up the connection with the same settings as I'd use in Gnome's Network Manager, but when

It transpires that the problem is to do with the mobile broadband that many of us now use. Its compression methods are what mangled the files, though I have now moved from Vodafone ot T-mobile with none of the symptoms. You can close the bug I filed. Thanks. Lee Wilson > Date: Mon, 5 Oct 20

I have just tried the same using the live CD (a CD verified as free from defects) with the same results, so it's definitely a bug rather than any installation problems. Would be pleased to hear that the team have found the same results. Thanks. -- won't open tar.gz in 9.04 https://bugs.launchpa
