Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I'm using karmic x86_64, updated as of 2009-09-30.
It's very hard to describe the bug, so a screen shot is attached.
As seen on the screen shot, after start up the notification area gets
scrambled, it shows, in case of this screen shot, two volume control
icons, one of them is the actual volume control icon, and the other one
is just a copy of it, it just sits there, clicking on it doesn't do
anything, and right clicking on it will bring the standard notification
area sub-menu. Also missing here is a network manager icon.
However:
The phantom icon can be a clone of any other icon in the notification area.
I've seen already phantoms of bluez icons, network manager icons and so on. And
the missing icon,can also be any of the other icons, there is no rule or
consistency :)
Also, killing the application with a missing icon will remove the phantom icon,
starting the application afterwards will show a correct functioning icon.
In the case of this screen shot, the missing icon was of a nm-applet, so after
I killed the nm-applet, one of the volume icons (the phantom one) disappeared,
I then started the nm-applet again, and the correct icon for it appeared and
worked as intended.
I haven't seen any related messages in the logs for this.
If you need more information and/or some additional testing,I will be glad to
do it.
Thanks :)
