Subject: update-notifier uses placeholder tray icon in gnome

Date: Sat, 05 Apr 2008 12:38:36 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.59.5.debian-1
Severity: minor

Update notifier uses a generic placeholder icon instead of something
more appropriate. Presumably this because the required icon is not available or the program is searching for the wrong icon.

The placeholder icon is highlighted in red on the attached screenshot.

update-notifier seemed to find its icon this morning. I don't know
what's changed. I'm still using the same version of this package as I
was using before!

Closing this bug as it seems to be fixed. Please re-open if the icon
goes away again!
