I confirm the bug, but also a short-term solution. This is my situation: 1. Upgraded from 9.10 through update-manager -d (or whatever). 2. Had annoying bug described above, where the gnome-power-manager flickers on and off (it is gnome-power-manager, because the icon disappears when i killall gnome-power-manager).
This is my short-term fix: 1. Remove gnome-power-manager from panel. 2. Add "Indicator Applet" panel widget (by right-clicking on the Gnome panel, choosing "Add to Panel..." and selecting "Indicator Applet"). This will cause an applet containing the battery indicator, volume control and annoying/mysterious mail icon to appear (coupled) -- with no flickering. Is this bug somehow an artifact of a shift to this new type of panel notification? -- Application Indicator causes Gnome Power fallback icon to show/hide on each refresh https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529052 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
