Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Recently I upgraded my gnome installation from version 3.4 to 3.8. The new
behaviour of the message tray, apart from being a bit annoying in itself,
renders amule completely unusable. I run amule as a startup program and it
starts minimized to tray, a fairly common way to use such a program. The
application itself seems to be running normally, complete with icon animations
indicating the state of connection and download speed. However, the new tray
doesn't allow any interaction with it at all. Opening the amule window requires
a double-click, something which the tray doesn't seem to allow - it just
disappears after a single click and nothing happens. Right click, which should
normally bring up a menu, doesn't do anything, and again the tray disappears.
If I run gnome flashback (poor man's gnome 2.*) everything works normally, so
this is obviously related to the new tray implementation. Of course it goes
without saying that everything worked fine with gnome 3.4 tray.
No other application docked in the tray has any such problem - this behaviour
is exclusive to amule. Probably the culprit here is amule's poor integration
with the new gnome. However, I'm posting this under gnome-shell because one
cannot make a graphical desktop environment and expect the applications to care
for the integration. It's the gnome-shell that should be implemented in the way
that doesn't require the applications to be specially tasilored for gnome.
Best Regards
