Public bug reported:
Oneiric dev branch, live DVD
On first login, jockey provides an OSD notification that "Restricted
drivers are available" and then says something along the lines of "Non-
free drivers can improve the function of your computer." or so. The
message does not tell the user what to do to get these drivers, however.
Neither a notification icon nor a launcher show how to proceed.
Before Unity, there was a notification icon in the system tray. I'm not
sure if that was intentionally removed, or if it is currently not
working. Either the bug is that no icon/launcher is shown or the bug is
that the notification text should explain what the user needs to do to
launch jockey-gtk ("Additional drivers").
