I regularly hear about it every time such problems occur. It is planned for GNOME 2.22, see http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap/GnomePanel > is in place then? > I don't see, why it is an abuse to provide useful functionality. The notification area is a place to notify the user when an event occurs. It is not meant to be a copy of the stupid Windows system tray with its gazillions of useless icons for each and every pet application installed on the system. > If you > disable the systray applet, there is no way anymore to show the list of > currently cached windows and clear the cache, and most importantly it > shows me, that seahorse is actually active and working. Do you need a status icon for each application which is alive and working? If a program is not working, we should fix it rather than finding ways to show people when it is working. Nevertheless, I agree that the "empty cache" functionality has to be available one way or another. I'll discuss with upstream of the best way to expose it. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
