According to the Gnome HIG: I see this as an Information Alert, and it was not produced by a user action, therefore there should not be a Cancel button since there is no action to cancel.
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-alert.html.en #alerts-information I also feel that instead of directing the user to "click the icon to get more information" that this Alert should have a "Details..." button to the left of the affirmation button that opens the Disk Utility. I don't feel that a user would automatically know that the new gnome-panel notification icon corresponds to this Alert, so they may not know which "icon" to click. Since this is a new feature, and it is likely to inform a good number of users that their HDD is failing, immediately after upgrading their Ubuntu distribution ,then it should present the information as clearly as possible. -- "Hard disk failing" notification has redundant Cancel button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
