That's the worst usability suggestion I've read in a really long time. I can't believe someone put something that bad in appindicator's "Design Guidelines" document. IMO this is a libappindicator bug. For something that's causing client apps to write ifdefs around their GtkStatusIcon code already, it should not add the extra inconvenience of forcing client applications to resort to terrible, awful, ugly, unintuitive, clumsy, embarassingly bad hacks that, even if implemented, *still* don't match the end-user ease-of-use as a mouseover tooltip. file:///usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk/GtkStatusIcon.html#gtk-status-icon- set-tooltip ** Package changed: transmission (Ubuntu) => indicator-application (Ubuntu) -- indicator applet transmission mouse over no information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535402 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
