Removing basic features that users have gotten used too and rely on, is probably the best way of driving them to other distributions.
The update popup window drives me personally crazy, because it such an inelegant solution. I have now wasted several hours trying to bring back the old behaviour from Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, of an icon in the notification area. I just want a simple working desktop. I do not want spend hours configuring basic desktop functionality or even worse applying some patch, which will be messed up when the system updates. And I dont want to use a PPA I do not really trust. This "// everybody wants auto-launch mode" bullshit should stop. It reminds me of the condescending Gnome attitude of knowing what is best for the user. (And do not put too much value into usability studies.) So please, ubuntu developers merge Forests patch and gives us back our notification area icon. Configurability is not the oposite of simple or usable. You should strive for simple configurability. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246364 Title: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1246364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
