Martin Eve is right! Unity should at least provide the basic things for applications to run! Don't forget that there are some applications that are cross-system and so they cannot change so as to 'fit' to Unity... Tray is one of the most important features of an OS that makes it user-friendly, as it provides easy and quick access to an application without focusing on it or disturbing the user of what he/she's doing at the current moment. What is more, there are applications that are designed to run exclusively (or not) from tray(i.e. Desktop Drapes or even the top video player, VLC!!!). All these applications are buggy now or don't work at all. Now, applications that are going to tray have to be killed (macabre and not so user-friendly as default).
I don't know but a solution has to be found, soon. Maybe the tray has to return as a very small panel (that exists only if there is a minimized application) at the right-down corner that appears on mouse above it (as the current Unity's panel at the left side). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752371 Title: Applications that use "close to system tray" are removed from launcher, but continue to run -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
