[Bug 974480] Re: Notification area whitelist is obsolete

 

Hear Hear!
Been using this patch for quite some time now, so big thanks for maintaining sanity for the desktop people.

However this previously working functionality is still spiralling in a downward direction.
QT applications no longer show up in the systray and I've never had sni-qt work at all.

Trying not to re-iterate what has largely already been said here
regarding the amateurish breaking of applications that use the Linux DE
standard systray (including nautilus file copy).

Just like to add that all QT applications that previously ran in the
systray using this patch, now don't show up unfortunately :(

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  Notification area whitelist is obsolete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.
