I filed a [bug report][1] on that. - Futhermore, my DVB-T channels were lost, so I had to rescan them. - -* The notifications displayed by notify-osd somehow have wandered from - the upper right edge towards the middle right. This seems to be fixed - now, as pointed out in the [bug report][2], but somehow this fix never - got onto my system, though the changelog of notify-osd says so… - Additionally, the notifications for received messages in Pidgin do not - hide anymore if I actually read the messages, they persist until their - default timeout has elapsed. And they even show up now when my IM - status is on “Do not Disturb” – this was not the case (just as I - expected it) in jaunty. - -* Icons in GTK menus are now hidden by default, which seemed very - unfamiliar to me, since I always used them as an orientation guide, - especcially in the Firefox search plugin menu. You can show them again - in the System -> Preferences -> Appearance applet on the Interface tab - by selecting “Show icons in menus”. - -* GDM is no longer custumizable through themes.
