https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/426256

"I saw some similar bugs, but much of them were reported for Jaunty and for me it's Karmic specific.

Rhythmbox don't display covers through notify-osd when they don't fit a square ratio.

Of course, the standard cover format is ok but (I know I'm strange) I love having some home-made best-of albums with there home-made/ill-sized covers."

"Here is a screencast and 2 examples covers for you can reproduce it"

"with the last couple of releases of notify-osd your described bug is not reproduceable. See attached sample cover-images and screencast for proof.

Commands used to trigger the notifications with the sample cover-images:
notify-send "Kenny Larkin (300x300)" "Metaphor Soul Man" -i /tmp/test-cover-1.jpg
notify-send "Kenny Larkin (200x198)" "Metaphor Soul Man" -i /tmp/test-cover-2.jpg
"

Sorry for the last "comment", I'm a newbie on bugzilla.
Comment 3 Mirco Müller 2009-10-24 02:41:49 UTC 
This is actually invalid and not a bug in rhythmbox.

It turned out to be a bug in Ubuntu's notify-osd, which has been fixed as of notify-osd 0.9.23. It was an issue with the size-calculation of notify-osd's icon-scaling. Please mark this as as invalid (or resolved).

If someone is really curious... you can take a look at the fix at https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~macslow/notify-osd/fix-443979

OK, thanks for pointing that out.
