The problem solved for me today, upgraded my GFX card (old nvidia with usage of nvidia driver version 173). The new card supports the latest drivers by ubuntu (version 185) and since this update the problem has gone.
So in my case, it is/was nvidia driver related. -- notification area shows wrong icons. erratic behaviour https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
