I believe this is related to the battery icon which is controlled by the xfce4 power manager. When I set the power manager to never show the icon...I do not get the extra space added after every suspend (on a freshly installed and updated Lubuntu 11.10 eeepc 1005ha...whether on AC power or battery).
I only have one laptop with Lubuntu so if anyone wants to test this work-around on another laptop: First get rid of the extra space (if any) by resetting the panel. lxpanelctl restart Then open the XFCE Power Manager. xfce4-power-manager-settings Under 'System tray icon' select 'Never show icon' and click Close. Now try suspending the computer and see if that fixes it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880010 Title: Empty space in tray after every suspend.
