Confirming the issue of not being able to get rid of indicator-messages apart from uninstalling it system-wide, but not agreeing with stuffing the menu with another item just for solving this. IMHO Indicator- messages should be de-/selectable in Startup Applications preferences (like indicator-multiload for instance is).
According to an answer on Ask Ubuntu [1], blacklisting all message- providers should hide indicator-messages altogether, but this doesn't seem to work in 12.04, apparently because status-providers (which are different from message-providers) are still using the menu. (U1 Control Panel also seems to still occupy it despite being blacklisted.) I've even tried overriding indicator-messages' dbus service file with a hackish solution [2], but the envelope still insists on appearing (though without the associated menu). * [1] http://askubuntu.com/a/15616/34756 * [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544483#42 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #544483 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544483 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829664 Title: "Hide This Menu" item is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-messages/+bug/829664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
