Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2011-12-11 18:31:14 UTC
Thanks for reporting this bug. I cannot reproduce, therefor I need more input from you.

When you right-click on an empty spot in the notification area, do you see a menu or just nothing happens?

Can you try lxpanel from updates-testing?

Comment 2 Thomas Arnold 2011-12-11 20:52:32 UTC
Thanks for responding.
I just see the void of space and nothing happens.
I will try to enable updates-testing and report back.
Greetings from Münster ;-)

Comment 3 Thomas Arnold 2011-12-12 20:19:04 UTC
Did the yum update lxpanel with update-testing enabled and the problem persists.

Comment 4 Freddy Willemsen 2011-12-16 15:39:26 UTC
I think I have found a workaround for the time being. Put the script below in /etc/pm/sleep.d dir (for example in 01powermanager). Put your own username in the right spot, maybe change your display number if applicable.

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
    thaw|resume)
        su - <Your username> -c "export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/xfce4-power-manager --restart"
        exit 0
        ;;
    *)  exit $NA
        ;;
esac

Comment 5 Thomas Arnold 2012-01-10 07:30:14 UTC
The workaround kinda sometimes works, but a real fix it certainly isn't. The notification area is still expanding. Anybody still working on this?

Comment 7 Christoph Wickert 2012-02-26 10:17:27 UTC
Argh, I had the necessary patch already in the F16 package for quite a while but I did not update F15. This explains why only a F15 user complains.

Thanks for Michael to the pointer in the LP bug report!

Comment 11 Michael Basse 2012-02-27 06:01:50 UTC
Unluckily Henry Gebhardt was discovering a use-case where the empty spaces still appear.

If you remove/add the battery the empty spaces are there again.

I can reproduce it with the latest patched version of xfce4-power-manager on lubuntu 12.04


Because i dont have Fedora, can someone of you test this use-case?

Comment 12 Christoph Wickert 2012-03-01 11:08:44 UTC
As far as I can tell this is fixed in the Fedora package, but compared to stock 1.0.10 it contains a number of patches from git. For a complete list see

I am experiencing the same problem in Fedora 16. Is there a fix available there as well? I cannot see an update available in the repositories.
