This bug has been randomly affecting my notification area since I did a fresh Lucid install. The problem seems to be that gnome draws a part of the MeMenu on top of the shutdown icon (as illustrated in the attachment "bug.png").
Redrawing the panel (as described in comment #15) solves the problem. Final remark: Like Dave Gilbert I'm running Metacity - not Compiz. ** Attachment added: "bug.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48156613/bug.png -- visual corruption affecting several panel applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 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
