Gnome notification area problem

Helloooo archaholics.
So, I have the notification applet in the gnome panel but apps like liferea, banshee etc, are putting the icons in a floating small metacity window instead. Like crazy style.
Can any kind folk tell me, is it a bug? is it a feature? is it a bit too hard to tell these days?
Cheers
gnome-2.14 including deps. Rest of system is [current].

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session

  • Gnome notification area (Solved)

    So i've been browsing the ubuntuforums since lucid was released and noticed that they all have nice looking icons in the notification area. They're unified icons, which i can't seem to get in gnome in arch.
    Here's a screenshot to show what i'm talking about:
    http://i.imgur.com/9WG48.jpg
    It doesn't seem to be just the lucid icon theme which achieves this, as that screenshot is using elementary icons. I've searched the AUR and can't find any modded notification area...
    Anybody got an idea how Arch can have this look?
    BTW i'm not talking about the OSD, i already have that..

    Maybe there are some to your taste in this one:
    http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=73439
    Don't know which package holds the elemntary icons in ubuntu, artwork/gnome or something? you should be able to extract them from there
    ubuntu-mono

  • [SOLVED] Gnome notification area has wrong background color

    I'm using the Shiki-Brave theme on Gnome and all (yes, all) of the tray icons have the wrong background color.  The color changes slighty if I select another Shiki theme, but is pretty close to the default gray.  Strangely, I only have this issue on my desktop at home -- none of my other machines (two laptops and a desktop at work) exhibit the problem.  I have ensured that the theme is exactly the same on all machines.  Another oddity is that other themes (e.g. high contrast inverse) have the right background color!
    The only thing I have managed to find via Google is a bug report against Gnome.  Here is what I have tried:
    * Removing and readding the applet to the panel.
    * Blowing away all my settings (rm -rf .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .local) and setting things up again.  To be sure I did not miss anything, I also tried creating a new user with a clean home.  Still the same issue.
    * Removing and reinstalling all of the gnome and gnome_extra groups.  I even cleared the pacman cache to force a redownload.
    Any ideas?  I'm at a loss on what to try next.
    Thanks!

    I figured out the problem.
    I have an NVIDIA card and I recently modified my X server to use Xinerama instead of TwinView.  Xinerama was responsible for all this nastiness.  Reverting to TwinView fixed the problem (and some other weird ones that started popping up).
    Those of you with NVIDIA cards, avoid Xinerama!

  • Notification area icons appearing as windows

    I'm having a problem where my gnome notification area icons appear as (small) windows instead of as icons in the notification area in the panel. I've tried moving the notification area, and removing and readding it, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Screenshot of problem (the notification area is there to the right of System):

    No I definitely haven't added any panels. This didn't work with a completely default gnome install, and the only panel thing I changed was moving the notification area towards the system menu to see if it made a difference (which it didn't).

  • Gnome Shell notification area icon problem

    Hello everybody,
    I am using Arch Linux with gnome-shell. I've installed different themes and everything went fine. However, one day
    my notification area for Empathy and Skype had exactly the same icons as Dropbox. You can see it in the attached image.
    Is there any way to sort this problem out?
    Thank you

    you would have to wonder how this could be a driver issue.... Incredibly it is... affecting only  x86_64 bits on newer nvidia drivers.
    Had to post this as I had the problem and my first search got this thread. First answer wasnt useful appart from telling you to search more (ironic when u get there from a search engine ) so I'll make the job easier in case more people stumble upon this thread.
    As of now there isnt no known fix. wait for new nvidia driver... switch to nouveau are basically the 2 options

  • [SOLVED] Xfce4 notification area & gnome icons

    I have in notification area loaded gnome icons for sound and bluetooth and it's look like that:
    http://tinypic.com/r/2nvwab4/6
    I tried change the icon style in gnome-tweak-tool reload X several times but I'm still seeing ugly black icons and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Have any of you same problem? Or even better solution for it?

    When I switched from gnome to xfce, I replaced the sound menu with volumeicon and pavucontrol. As for bluetooth, I use bluemon now.

  • Gnome Fallback-Huge spacing between notification area icons

    So, just went in the fallback mode in Gnome, I really like it, but there's way too much space between the icons in the notification area.
    I have managed to make them a bit smaller ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/69576/ho … ssic-panel ), but I'd like to fix the spacing too.
    This is how they look on my PC: http://i.imgur.com/lVldy.png
    The space is not even equally distributed.
    I could use some help.
    Thanks.

    Bringing this up.
    I'd like to use Gnome in FallBack mode, but because of this, I can't, it's annoying.
    If somebody knows how to fix this, please share.

  • [SOLVED] IceWM: "notification area" / taskbar / system tray

    Hello!
    I've recently moved from Gnome to IceWM. It all works nicely but there's a problem. In Gnome (and KDE and fluxbox and pypanel and ...) there was a "notification area" / taskbar / system tray where you could see "minimized to tray" programs, such as: Wicd, Deluge, Transmission, Emesene, etc... But in IceWM that doesn't exist. Well this is a pain in the *ss. I mean, I open deluge, minimize it and now I can't open its main window again.
    Can some IceWM user help me?
    Thanks, acmps

    It should be all there in a default IceWM setup, esp. does IceWM hava a built-in system tray.
    Mostly it depends on how you start IceWM. You need to execute icewm-session in your ~/.xinitrc, as e.g.
    exec icewm-session
    Or if you want to start IceWM manually, use
    xinit /usr/bin/icewm-session
    There should be a ~/.icewm folder. If not, create one and copy /usr/share/icewm/{keys,menu,preferences,toolbar,winoptions} there. These are well commented setup files which you can change to your needs with any text editor.
    Thanks! I was used to start IceWM with "exec icewm" in xinitrc, but it seems like it's icewm-session. About the .icewm folder, I already have it. I'm going to try and start IceWM with icewm-session right away.
    EDIT: It seems like I don't need to start icewm-session to get the tray, just icewm and icewmtray. Thanks!

  • HTML tags displayed with the text in "Notification" area

    We want to display an HTML formatted message in the "notification" area, but the HTML tags are being escaped and thus are displayed along with the text. We are using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04. The application has been handed off to us to support and we have no experience with APEX. So I hope I am explaining this correctly.
    The process to display the message is as follows:
    After submission, a page validation fires, which is of type "function returns boolean": "return some_function('P100_MESSAGE',2nd_arg);".
    In "Error Message" is "&P100_MESSAGE."
    The function returns true when the validation is successful. When validation fails, it returns false, setting 'P100_MESSAGE' to some error message - for example: "<li>Phone number is not numeric</li><li>Email address is not valid</li>".
    Our template has this in the body definition:
    #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE##SUCCESS_MESSAGE##BOX_BODY#
    As I understand it, #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE# will be replaced with the value of 'P100_MESSAGE'.
    I've displayed 'P100_MESSAGE' on my page to confirm its contents and it is rendered correctly with bullets. But the notification area does not show bullets. It displays the text and the HTML tags.
    Is there anything obvious we can do to fix this problem? Thanks

    I 've changed P100_MESSAGE to text field, text field (disabled, saves state), text field (disabled, does not save state), and textarea, display as text, etc. It is originally set to Hidden type (because it is only to be displayed in the notification area). But changing it to various types makes no difference as to how it is displayed in the notification area. Of course, when it's not hidden, then it's also displayed on the page, among to other page elements,which is not acceptable.
    Thanks-

  • Notifications are not being sent when Bulk Load is done

    Hi All,
    I have OIM 11g setup on my machine. I use the bulk load utility for loading the user data. Now in my OIM setup, the notifications are being sent for all stuff like Reset Password. New account creation and other. However when I bulk load the users, notifications are not sent to their mail ids. I am running the scheduled job "Bulk load Post Process" which is necessary so that the users are synced to the LDAP repository. I have the LDAP Sync option checked and also the Notifications option set to yes in this scheduled job. Though the users are loaded successfully and are synced properly, the notifications are not sent. Can some one please guide me as to what could be the problem here?
    Thanks,
    $id

    The code is probably only called in the Event method of the event handler that sends the notification. You can check the mds files and find the notification you are looking for and then use a code decompiler to find the class that is called. You can then use this code as a sample, or write your own notification code and create an event handler that runs in the BulkEvent.
    And on another note there is also this System Configuration Variable: Recon.SEND_NOTIFICATION which is set to FALSE by default.

  • Notifications are still not working

    Is the Skype team even working on this? This issue has been around forever, The app never tells you of new messages.

    Interesting thing I just noticed.
    I had problems with notifications earlier, as was already addressed in few other threads, and it was fixed with latest update.  And what I didn't noticed at the time was that weather live tile stopped working, no refresh, today I reinstalled weather app, live tile is working again, but now Skype notifications are not working again.
    Don't know if it is connected, but just mentioning if it could help, Right now I go to reinstall Skype in hope that notifications will work again.

  • Access to Cloud from notification area

    Yesterday I set up BT Cloud all seemed OK, but today the icon that it placed in my notification area for quick access does not respond, yesterday when I right clicked the icon it gave me the option to Open Cloud or Open Sync Folder, today no response from either right or left click, what it does have is a small round symbol in the bottom left corner.  I can get into MyCloud by logging in to MyBT but it was easier from the notification area.  I can’t find anything in FAQ’s  Have I done something wrong, any ideas.

    Hi SpottyDog,
    Are you still having the same problem? If post again and I'll be happy to help you with this.

  • Meeting notifications are not showing up

    In Leopard, when I receive a new meeting notification in Mail and I go to iCal, the meeting is there, but nothing shows up in the notification area. I don't have anyway to accept or decline a meeting. What's going on? Any suggestions?

    According to Apple, there is a bug when Leopard and Tiger send invites back and forth-(on with support for 3 hours--Leopard gets an OK button from Tiger instead of Accept, Tentative, Reject choices)-and now since upgrading to Leopard (Leopard to Leopard events) I have found that there is a problem when I get an event response in mail (the checkbox to automatically send to iCal is checked in Preferences), but the notifications box is only registering a few of several responses--it doesn't update the attendees status even though there is a response in mail. Any ideas?

  • [solved] Amarok 2.3.1 - missing notification area icon

    Using Gnome 2.30.0, KDE 4.4.3
    For the latest amarok-git (2.3.1-git) and now the official community package (2.3.1) in the panel notification area the amarok tray icon displays as a page with a blue question mark on it, instead of the proper round 'wolf' icon.
    I would think this may be the fault of Gnome, except the icon is restored when reverting back to amarok 2.3.0. The icon properly displays when using running a KDE session.
    Reproducible: Always
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Install amarok 2.3.1 under Arch, and open amarok under Gnome desktop environment. Notification area icon displays incorrectly as above.
    Thoughts?? Anyone else affected by this??
