           Summary: [Breezy] Panel Notification Area does not reclaim space
                    properly when icons disappear
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-panel
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mmacleod at ieee.org
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


As of a week or two on Breezy, the notification area in my upper-right panel has
shown a disturbing tendency to grow as icons are added and removed. This is very
noticeable as I'm using the "New Mail Icon" extension to Thunderbird, which adds
and removes itself constantly as I get new mail. Moving the notification area
around does not resolve the problem, although sometimes exiting applications in
the notification area seems to. Killing the gnome-panel is the only definite was
to 'fix' it, although this kills Gaim as well, which is frustrating. I will
attach screen shots of the problem.
