Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-02-05 11:49:16 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/83278

"Try this test app, which creates 100 "invisible" GtkStatusIcons.

----
import gtk

s = {}

for i in range(0, 100):
    s[i] = gtk.status_icon_new_from_icon_name("sound")
    s[i].set_visible(False)

gtk.main()
----

Observe the notification grow loads, even though the icons are supposed to be invisible.

This problem is causing phantom spacing between notification icons in the notification area, and makes it look a bit rubbish.

Is this a bug in our Notification Area? Or is it in Gtk?"


Might be similar to bug #331558

FWIW,

Feb 05 02:00:09 <alex-weej>	anyone wanna shed some light on this? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/83278
Feb 05 02:01:32 <Lathiat>	i've noticed that before
Feb 05 02:01:46 <Lathiat>	sometimes you somehow get empty ones
Feb 05 02:01:49 <Lathiat>	and they space out the items in there
Feb 05 02:01:52 <Lathiat>	not sure what causes that
Feb 05 02:02:34 <mclasen_>	should be fixed in current gtk trunk
