In any case, it would be good if you could post the issue to the upstram bugtracker.
** Description changed: The change in the "zenity --notification" behavior completely removed the functionality to display an unobtrusive, always visible tray icon from zenity. For clarity, the tray icon functionality should be made available with a proper "zenity --trayicon" feature. For backwards compatibility, the --notification option would have to - continue to show an icon, but may be switched to just bring up a - notification bubble for clarity, once a separate --trayicon feature is - available. - + continue to show an icon. It may do so only together with the the + --listen option (this then implies status updates should follow), and + emit only a simple notification bubble and exit otherwise. --- 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884011 Title: regression: lost ability to show continuous status with tray/appindicator icon Status in Zenity: New Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The change in the "zenity --notification" behavior completely removed the functionality to display an unobtrusive, always visible tray icon from zenity.
