Hi, I'm french, sorry for my bad english. The package gmail-notify has a bug (not corrected in Hardy with proposals repositories activated) : the popup isn't always at the good position and sometimes moves up much higher than it should. Looking at the source, it is just due to the function gtk.Window.get_size which doesn't always gives the actual size of the window (see <a href="http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--get-size">http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--get-size</a>) I corrected the code and it seems to work fine for me now. I join the corrected code, and, if you prefer, there is the diff between the two versions (with the 1.6.1-3ubuntu2.1 version) : $ diff notifier.py.old notifier.py 141,142c141,144 < self.window.resize(180,1) < self.width, self.height = self.window.get_size() --- > self.window.resize(180,1) > self.sizex = 180 > self.sizey = 1 > self.width, self.height = self.sizex, self.sizey 292a295 > self.sizey = 1 300d302 < currentsize=self.window.get_size() 303d304 < sizey=currentsize[1] 305c306 < if sizey<2: --- > if self.sizey<2: 309a311 > self.sizey = 1 315c317 < self.window.resize(180,sizey-2) --- > self.window.resize(180,self.sizey-2) 316a319 > self.sizey-=2 318c321 < if sizey<140: --- > if self.sizey<140: 320c323 < self.window.resize(180,sizey+2) --- > self.window.resize(180,self.sizey+2) 321a325 > self.sizey+=2 324d327 < sizex=currentsize[0] I send this correction here because `apt-cache show gmail-notify ' gave me this address. I hope this can be useful to people, and possibly even be included in repositories. Cordially Guillaume Brunerie
