Wouldn't enabling the mounter applet by default do the same and be easier to disable by advanced users who just don't want it there? The notification area is supposed to have as few icons as possible, and mine is already overpopulated with nm-applet and tomboy sitting there all day. Anyway, the initial problem with the eject buttons on the panel was that they'd be difficult to reach without the mouse... is reaching a notification area icon any easier? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
