Hello ceg, you have edited my bug report and somehow I agree to you and somehow I don't. I agree to you that displaying a tray icon is still a requirement. I disagree that moving that function to a different option name is ok. It would be ok to implement a new function with a new name that does what --notification does now. Everything else would be a regression because it breaks all scripts which rely on 'zenity --notification'.

Instead, that functionality should have been moved into a proper "zenity --trayicon" feature. --- Ubuntu 11.10 zenity 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 In a script I use following line: exec 3> >(zenity --notification --window-icon="icon.svg" --listen --text="some text") so I can change the tray icon based on what the script does. What I expect to happen: "zenity --notification" should show an icon in the tray or appindicator. What happens instead: A "zenity --warning" style dialog window pops up.
