Description of problem: When pam-panel-icon is running, it creates a very small, but resizible, regular window on the current desktop. The shield icon appears in that window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): usermode-gtk-1.87-3 gnome-panel-2.16.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome terminal (it makes pam-panel-icon start ) 2. 3. Actual results: Small regular window on desktop. The shield icon in the window. Expected results: No extra windows on desktop. The shield icon in panel. Additional info: Probably, related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167267
This window shows up in the windows list. It cannot be closed. If pam-panel-icon is killed, the window re-appears again, after pam-panel-icon restarts.
Thanks for your report. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the behavior. * What desktop environment are you using? * If GNOME, do you have a "notification area" applet on your panel? * Do other applications that use notification icons (e.g. gaim, rhytmbox, gnome-power-manager) embed them into the panel correctly? * Is a pam-panel-icon process running before you start gnome-terminal?

* GNOME * Yes (set ps ax output) * No. I tried gaim. So it is, probably, a notification area problem * No
do you have a notification area on your panel?
My bad. I thought that if notification-area-applet is running, it is inserted. Apparently, it is two different things. I have to apologize for the false alert.
