Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-04-24 09:17:24 UTC 
The Seahorse agent puts a GtkStatusIcon in my notification area. I really don't want it and there's no way to hide it either.
Comment 1 Adam Schreiber 2007-04-24 12:12:45 UTC 
There is a way to hide the cache icon and it's documented here:

Comment 2 Stef Walter 2007-04-26 00:37:30 UTC 
I wonder if we should hide it by default.
Comment 3 Adam Schreiber 2007-04-26 03:09:01 UTC 
Perhaps, there seems to be a general bad feeling towards things that sit in the notification bar and aren't currently notifying people of anything.  I think Davyd Madeley's new applet API will remove the distinction between notification applets and applets, but in the meanwhile we can hide it.
Comment 4 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2007-04-26 07:29:21 UTC 
Please hide it by default.
Comment 5 Josselin Mouette 2007-06-16 22:12:21 UTC 
I concur. Please hide it unless it does something useful.
Comment 6 Josselin Mouette 2007-07-15 13:25:04 UTC 
It was brought to my attention that the "clean cache" feature is only exposed through that notification area icon.

I think we should make it available in seahorse-preferences.
Comment 7 Stef Walter 2007-08-21 03:12:00 UTC 
Done. Disabled by default.

Add UI

A patch which adds the UI suggested. Well it would be a patch if glade wasn't so dumb and broken ...
