Public bug reported: The nm-applet currently sits in the notification area. This is not where applets are supposed to reside. The notification area is supposed to be reserved for notifications. Since nm-applet is not notifying of any particular status, it should be a panel applet.
Please see the Gnome HIG: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable /desktop-notification-area.html.en An excerpt as pertaining to panel applets: "Notification Area or Panel Applet? You should probably write an applet instead of using the notification area if: * clicking your notification area icon does anything other than opening a window directly associated with the icon (e.g. a mail folder window for a new mail icon, or a print queue window for printer notification icon), or * there are icon-specific options on its context menu for doing anything other than that * your application would ever need to display more than one notification icon at the same time" This can be fixed by making nm-applet a panel applet. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: usability -- Nm-applet is not an applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421577 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
