I made a previous point about this, which unfortunately was completely ignored: the indicators are *menus*, which means that interacting with them involves clicking on them and *immediately after* moving the cursor down, thus freeing the notification to reappear. There might be situations when the user has no reason to move the cursor afterwards (ex: he clicked on indicator-datetime just to see the calendar), but in those he also has no strong reason to stand still either. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
