Title:
  Wording of OSD notification not useful when no notification icon

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Oneiric dev branch, live DVD

  On first login, jockey provides an OSD notification that "Restricted
  drivers are available" and then says something along the lines of
  "Non-free drivers can improve the function of your computer." or so.
  The message does not tell the user what to do to get these drivers,
  however. Neither a notification icon nor a launcher show how to
  proceed.

  Before Unity, there was a notification icon in the system tray. I'm
  not sure if that was intentionally removed, or if it is currently not
  working. Either the bug is that no icon/launcher is shown or the bug
  is that the notification text should explain what the user needs to do
  to launch jockey-gtk ("Additional drivers").
