Package: gaim Version: 1:2.0.0+beta5-9 Severity: normal the notification area was designed to be used for transient notifications. however, gaim pepetually uses this feature merely to provide the user quick access to a couple functions. this is an explicitly disfavored use of the notification area.
see references [1], [2], and [3] (section 4 in particular, only core gnome applications may perpetually use the notification area) for more information. thanks for all the hard work. mike [1] http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-usability&m=104755080500693&w=2 [2] http://standards.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec-0.2.html [3] http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/hig-2.0.pdf -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gaim depends on: ii gaim-data 1:2.0.0+beta5-9 multi-protocol instant messaging c ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libavahi-compat-howl0 0.6.15-2 Avahi Howl compatibility library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.10-2 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.10-3+b1 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libnspr4-0d 1.8.0.8-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-0d 1.8.0.8-1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-4 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-7 Shared Perl library ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.8-2 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.0-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library Versions of packages gaim recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.10-2 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-esd 0.10.4-3 GStreamer plugin for ESD ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.10-2 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.4-3 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
