Omer: thanks for your reply, but I have to respectfully disagree. If a new desktop environment thinks it can wade in and expect every application on earth to adapt to its new methods without providing some form of transitional measure, that's somewhat arrogant.
Furthermore, surely, as Mike S. has said that Unity is supposed to be zero conf., it makes no sense to have things not working "out of the box". If Unity is the new default, how can it make sense to tell users: "well, it's the default, I'm sorry, your applications will be buggy and behave strangely for a year or so. It's because of a decision we made, but it's actually their fault and they need to fix it." Not going to do much for the project. Instead: detect when an application tries to register for a system tray icon. If it then asks to be removed from window list, why not simply not act on this. This would provide a smooth transition that won't result in user alienation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752371 Title: Applications that use "close to system tray" are removed from launcher, but continue to run -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
