Comment 5 for bug 533775

Not quite sure about the last question. The icon I'm talking about lives in the notification area - I've never seen anything about the typing monitor appear using the indicator applet.

(As I understand it the notification area is an area in the top panel. For me it currently contains a Dropbox icon, the network manager icon and the (broken) typing monitor icon. The indicator applet is what makes messages appear on screen temporarily. My answer above might be wrong if I have the wrong names in my head).

In case it helps with tracking down the problem I tried using lsof to see if it had an image file open, but all I could see were a few icon-theme.cache files. I also tried running gnome-typing-monitor from the command line to see if there were any errors but there weren't. And I've checked /var/log/ but not found any references to the typing monitor there.

Any other ideas for what to check? Do we know what the icon file should be so I can check if it exists? Or is it just generated on the fly?

Here is the lsof output filtering out the library files:
