Ah yes that did it, thank you. The volume bit has also been added by that, which I hadn't noticed was missing.
I think I removed it in karmic as it was just the message applet (envelope icon) and I thought that I was just getting rid of the instant messaging thing - I don't use any instant messaging (well, I use irssi on a server but that doesn't link to the panel). So I'm not sure if it counts as some sort of bug as it won't affect new installs or upgrades where the default panel was left alone. But I imagine there are a few folk who would have made the same choice as me without realising the full implications. So I'll let you choose whether to close it or if it is worth someone looking at a way to avoid the problem I had. At least this report is here so that google can help people. I'll add the volume thing to the title to help people find it. ** Summary changed: - No icon for typing break + No icon for volume or typing break after upgrade to lucid ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: light-themes + EDIT: turned out I had removed the 'indicator applet' from the panel in + karmic, and the typing break and volume icons now default to the + indicator applet rather than the notification area. - I've just upgraded to Lucid and my typing break icon has disappeared - (well it's been replaced by a red circle with a line through it). It - used to be a slowly increasing vertical bar indicating how long until - the typing break would happen. Other than that the typing break stuff - still appears to work, it's just that an icon got lost in the upgrade. + ORIGINAL REPORT + I've just upgraded to Lucid and my typing break icon has disappeared (well it's been replaced by a red circle with a line through it). It used to be a slowly increasing vertical bar indicating how long until the typing break would happen. Other than that the typing break stuff still appears to work, it's just that an icon got lost in the upgrade. I use the standard typing break. To check this on your system, go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard and choose the Typing Break tab, and click on 'Lock screen to enforce typing break'. + + The volume icon has also disappeared.
