Mark, but doesn't the usage of appindicators assume that there will be an icon anyway? I don't think this is the case, there should *not* be an icon at all. At least the specification in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#apport says:
"When a system process crashes, an icon appears in the panel, and a “Crash report detected” bubble appears with the text “An application has crashed on your system (now or in the past). Click on the notification icon to display details.” The icon and bubble should not appear; instead an alert should appear unfocused." Currently, there is no bubble, but the icon is still there (in some cases). Taking a wild guess, I believe this has something to do with permissions. Back in the Lucid alphas, gwibber was crashing and the alert box was appearing directly, without the icon (as the specification says it should). Now in Lucid Beta, I see an icon when plymouthd is crashing, and I need to click it and type my password for the alert box to appear. I think this has something to do with the fact that gwibber was a local process and plymouthd is a root process. Can someone confirm this? If that is the case, I think Apport should be changed to ask for root permissions only to send the report, not just to show the alert box. -- Apport is not following the notification guidelines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537321 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
