Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.41.3-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I can't get update-notifier to work with the default settings.
The README tells me that i might be required to do modifications
in my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory but it's not clear what i need
to do.
I saw that gksu is required (even tho not in Depends) and I have it
installed.
I even rebooted (altho i'd rather restart the needed services,
please document this), but i get the same results.
Namely, starting update-notifier allocates room for it in my systray
but no icon nor menu is shown. Just empty spaces.
I've tried under both xfce4 and KDE 3.5.

Hi Pascal,
Can you check the latest update-notifier (0.42.6-1) ? It
works with the default settings and even autostart if possible
(xdg compatible scheme, see /etc/xdg/autostart). I think the
other problems were fixed too.
Thanks in advance,
Gustavo Franco - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
