Description Lubos Kocman 2010-11-19 11:59:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

Both windows and linux spice clients have different watermarks banners (linux one is with spice-space logo, windows one is with shadowman logo).

But I have heard lots of complains about it's existence.  It has zero usability and it's just breaking view on gnome-panel (as some users have top-panel occupied with numerous launchers).

IT'S DECREASING USABILITY

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

any

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. spicec <world>

  
Actual results:

watermark with spice/shadowman logo is visible during the whole session

Expected results:

The spice watermark should be visible only on startup or never (as it has zero usability).

spice watermark

I can confirm, that it decreases visibility of applets on gnome-panel (if there is many of them, or having low resolution and panel is small).

I agree that the watermark gets in the way w/ a RHEL desktop, and I've never liked it.  Tentatively dev_acking as we can easily remove it, but should probably take the time to figure out what we want here and do it upstream.
