Even with a notification area icon, there is not enough good communication with the user happening here, but maybe improving that should be a different bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However when packagekit is checking for updates, working in any other way, there used to be a visible icon in 11.1 (as far as I remember) indicating that the software stack was working. This is not there in 11.2. The icon still shows up when it detects an update, though, as it should. I don't mind (hopefully most others don't either) my notification area being misused for a few seconds, if it gives me an useful visual indicator that the software management stack is being used :) . -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
