Touchpad enable/disable OSD image is empty

[David Chen]

Build Version/Date: Ubuntu 11.10 final release amd64
Environment used for testing: Dell laptops with touchpad enable/disable hotkey

Summary:
When pressing the hotkey to disable/enable touchpad, OSD pops up on the notification area, but no touchpad image is displayed. On Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04, touchpad image shows correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell machine with touchpad enable/disable hotkey
2. After installation, boot system to desktop environment
3. Press the hotkey to disable touchpad

Expected result:
When pressing hotkey to disable touchpad, OSD brings up a touchpad icon with a red cross on it; when re-enabling it, touchpad icon without red cross shows up on notification area.

Actual result:
OSD pops up, but only shows a black box with no touchpad image on it.

thank you for your bug report, could you take a screenshot of the bug? it seems rather a gnome-settings-daemon issue than a notify-osd one from the description, notify-osd just displays what it's asked to

[David Chen (david.chen)]

The hotkey works, touchpad can be disabled and enabled correctly, it's just the OSD icon is missing.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is that issue only happening when the dash is open?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I don't have a touchpad enable key on my laptop or netbook, could run "dbus-monitor --session", hit the key and copy the log to the bug to see what text and image are sent on the bus?

@seb123 -- I'll try to get that to you ASAP.

[David Chen (david.chen)]

This issue has nothing to do with dash, same behavior without dash open.

HP DV6 2170US with touchpad disable hotkey. Seems to be still occurring.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

ok, Didier pointed that your distro patch to use notify-osd needs a similar update

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Will be fixed in 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 or higher once uploaded.
