[Bug 974480] Re: Notification area whitelist is obsolete

 

Finally got around to updating to 13.10 and find my patch no longer
works. As Maxim stated com.canonical.Unity.Panel is not being used. So,
now my ppa just whitelists everything.

Again, the ppa is here:

https://launchpad.net/~timekiller/+archive/unity-systrayfix

to use it, of course:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timekiller/unity-systrayfix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I am attaching the (much more simplified) patch here.

** Patch added: "Global systray whitelist"

Title:
  Notification area whitelist is obsolete

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Mark has asked us to consider retiring the notification area whitelist
  for 12.10. The application indicator system has been in place for two
  years now, which should be long enough for applications to adopt it.

  If the whitelist was retired, Java and Wine would be hard-coded as the
  only software still able to use the menu bar as if it was a
  notification area, because their developers don't necessarily know
  that Ubuntu even exists.
