Description Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-12-15 08:44:38 UTC 
In 2.5.3, there is a new notification area icon which appears to be for alarms.
This should not be permanently in the notification area. This area is for
notifying the user of things, and as this alarm icon isn't notifying me of
anything, it shouldn't exist.

See the commentry at the top of

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-notification-area.html

"The utility of the notification area decreases rapidly when more than about
four icons are always present. For this reason, icons that appear only
temporarily in response to events are preferable."
