GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 102602
Why does acme need a notification icon?
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I'm wondering why acme puts an icon in the notification area, when all it does is give access to the prefs dialog which is reachable via other means. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything other than signal that the daemon is active, which isn't really useful info. This is a minor thing, but I'm reporting it because I don't want to see GNOME become like Windows, where every app decides that it wants some screen space and puts an icon into the notification area despite it not actually being used to notify the user of anything - I think the icons should usually be temporary. Otherwise we'll end up needing a "hide old icons" feature like that found in XP, which is silly. Thoughts?
