Just another voice to add to this discussion which echos a fair amount of what I have already read.
- When I upgraded to Jaunty, I noticed that the update icon did not appear. I assumed that this was a bug introduced during the update. - upgrade manager "juat appearing" on its own is a really bad idea. It looks like malware. My opinion for what it is worth. The notification panel works great for me. The notification icon is one of the things I think is great in Ubuntu. Its removal is a backwards step. Launching the update manager is a retrograde step. If the designers think that the update icon is being ignored by a lot of people, then why not let it make a nuisance of itself if it has been ignored for a specified length of time, say a fortnight or a month. Make it flash, change colour etc. That way people will have to pay attention to it. To my mind, the old method was ideal. I like the notification area - I don't mind the number of things in there and I DO like the notification icon. Just changing it into what we have at the moment is pretty unforgiveable. -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information / new update-manager behaviour is annoying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 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
