GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 540885
Notification area icon starts out huge
Last modified: 2008-07-01 15:30:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: It seems like the notification area icon is somewhat larger than it should be. When running gnome-panel, the symptom is that the notification area grows and then shrinks rapidly as the icon is resized. The problem is more easily seen when using avant-window-navigator's notification area, because the banshee icon never shrinks and only a tiny part of it can be seen (because it's so huge). Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
This is fixed in svn. The issue with AWN is more specific to AWN's notification area applet itself. It doesn't seem to support any size allocations smaller than some maximum. Thus the first size request is 200x200 and the next may be 22x22, but since 200x200 is larger, the 22x22 is discarded. This is a bug in that applet, exposed by this bug in Banshee.
Thanks Aaron. This seems to work now, and I have passed on your comment to the AWN guys.
