It seems that it has something to do with compiz and visual effects. I have a second computer that also runs ubuntu jaunty and amsn. The main difference is that the second computer has fglrx instead of radeon and doesn't have visual effects activated. I saw that the icon seems fine on that computer so I tested turning of visual effects on my primary and then restart amsn. The icon then worked. Turning on visual effects AFTER amsn has started had no effect. The icon still worked. When I later restart amsn (with compiz on) makes the icon behave strange again.
Primary (radeon): Turn off effects and then start amsn -> Icon fine Start amsn and after that start the effects -> Icon fine Start amsn with the effects already activated -> Icon not fine Secondary (fglrx): Icon always working since the effects cannot be activated. Driver not yet compatible I guess. -- [Jaunty] aMSN icon does not show correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
