> That said, if nm-applet and pidgin get fixed for 14.04, notification- area isn't that important anymore...
I tried manually applying the patch for nm-applet, it works fine. Pidgin works fine too, after playing a bit with its settings. So yup notification-area isn't that important anymore. Dmitry many gnome-panel bugs were fixed recently, thanks! The only major blocker left for deploying 14.04 with gnome-panel now, is the keyboard indicator not responding to xorg keyboard layout switches, the rest issues left are either small ones or workarounds for them exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263591 Title: Add notification-area to panel-default-layout.layout Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-panel” package in Baltix: New Bug description: Upstream gnome-panel includes notification-area: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/plain/data/panel-default-layout.layout In Ubuntu, debian/patches/01_layout.patch changes that file in order to make use of indicator-applet-complete. That patch is Ubuntu-specific, it doesn't exist in Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-panel/debian/patches/ The problem is that that patch also removes notification-area, so applications like pidgin, stardict etc (and even nm-applet in Trusty) don't show up at all. Please modify that patch so that notification-area is not removed, i.e. add the following lines to it: [Object notification-area] object-iid=NotificationAreaAppletFactory::NotificationArea toplevel-id=top-panel pack-type=end pack-index=1 I'm attaching an updated 41_classic_layout.patch.
