This affects me on Fluxbox. I unset the auto_launch option a long time ago, because I find the popups extremely intrusive and annoying (but I do still find it useful to get a more subtle notification in the tray).
I think the volume of online HOWTOs explaining how to disable this behaviour (sometimes through extreme measures like disabling update notifications altogether or uninstalling the package) is a testament to its unpopularity. I have installed the patched version from the PPA and can confirm that it restores the expected behaviour for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246364 Title: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1246364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
