The fixed size/position is a similar problem on large monitors - it is way over to the right and tiny on my HD monitor (which I can plug into the same netbook), but the background is dark so that with the size makes it hard to notice.
So on the same computer depending on monitor it is either too annoying or doesn't even notify. Also the CPU can be busy - you might be telling it to disappear or do something when I mouse-over but the mouse can be in the center for several seconds while something else is going on and it won't disappear, go transparent, or whatever is is supposed to do. Xorg isn't running as a -20 nice process, and if the CPU s IO bound copying data to a flash drive it might not get a lot of cycles anyway. No UI element like this should depend on the CPU being available. Even the old one would have a close box so if it was busy but clicked, the window manager or whatever would make it disappear (without a lot of internal traffic having to go through pipes and be interpreted). Replace something that works with something that is a badly designed early alpha and leave it that way? Not even patch it with manual configuration options to make it less broken, but not fixing the problems so it actually works properly. Through how many more releases? And now you want to similarly break the systray! -- notifyosd is still horrible in lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553313 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
