Sebastian, thanks for your reply. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1, with all updates installed. I've attached .xsession-errors. The notification area is just the Ubuntu default in the upper right corner, left of the clock.
It's kind of weird that the Volume Control applet doesn't seem to be suffering from this particular problem... ** Attachment added: "Xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16410685/.xsession-errors -- notification area won't hold applets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252722 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
