Rythmbox icon does not open menu correctly from notification bar in Ubuntu 10.10

[Tchalvak]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I click the rhythmbox icon in the notification bar, instead of showing the useful "play/next/previous, quit" options in a dropdown, it shows a uselessly shortened menu with no menu text.

Essentially, a left-click only highlights the notification icon and displays a broken shortened dropdown menu. Right click works as normal.

This also means that:
When you open the rythmbox application, it just shows as the notification icon, which is unusable.
When you close the rythmbox application it minimizes to the notification bar instead of actually closing, rendering it unusable.

The only workaround is to open rythmbox twice for force access to the actual window.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
