Should not have a notification icon, or it should be optional

[Alexey Kotlyarov]

Binary package hint: beagle

Beagle inserts an icon into the notification area. The icon does not notify of anything; when clicked, opens Beagle search window, which could be opened by a launcher all the same. Given that I already have "Tracker" applet in the panel, the icon is useless. There at least should be an option to disable it, ideally, on by default (a launcher on the panel, and Tracker applet give the same functionality and do not clutter notification area).

The workaround I found is to disable "Beagle search tool" in "Startup
applications". However, I think it still should be an option in
settings.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Beagle, the search software, is no longer included in Ubuntu. Unrelated genetic analysis software named beagle has now been uploaded to Ubuntu's archives for the next version of Ubuntu. Therefore, to avoid confusion, I am closing this bug.
