I also have this bug in the release version of Karmic. This bug occurs on every startup. Certain apps just refuse to show up in the notification area. Most importantly, Thunderbird and Pidgin. This is very annoying as I can't tell when someone has sent me an IM or an email!! Empathy and emesene show up fine.
I am not using compiz. I will attach my xorg.conf. I have tried the following workarounds: 1. Closing the app then reopening it. No change. 2. Removing the notification panel then re-adding. No change. 3. Swapping to different themes and icon sets. No change. 4. In pidgin, I toggled the notification icon off then on. The icon flashed up in the notification area for an instant, then disappeared. I upgraded my system from Jaunty, which gave me no notification bugs. -- [karmic] Certain notification area icons are invisible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
