This was and remains (as of Oneiric on June 1) because gnome-shell uses traditional systray applets but unity uses ubuntu's indicators. As a result, there is talk that Ubuntu is going to have to rewrite all the indicators to detect whether Unity or Gnome-shell is running and switch between indicator and systray behavior.
I've seen inconsistant behavior in nm-applet from currrent network- manager-gnome builds, where in one of my three machines but not the other two the "noindicator" build will display in Unity and gnome-shell, the other two it displays only in gnome-shell. The reverse is true of current Ubuntu builds-one machine shows them either way, the others follow the expected behavior of displaying the nm-applet only in Unity for an indicator version, only in gnome-shell for a non-indicator version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728631 Title: gnome-shell uses old bluetooth and network applets -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
