I have the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 with gnote 3.6.0.

[Daniele Cruciani (daniele-smartango)]

also in 13.04
But, in 12.10 I can see the icon, just after upgrade to 13.03 it is not visible.

Not showing in Ubuntu 13.04. Ubuntu 13.04 doesn seem to have the latest Gnote package 3.6.2
Installing Gnote 3.6.2 from ppa:gnote/ppa didn´t help unfortunately.

The problem exists in the 12.04 LTS too.

The icon IS visible - it's just 1 pixel width in size so is as good as impossible to use.

As a temporary workaround:

 1) Load Gnote from your applications menu (this loads Gnote with the 1 pixel wide tray icon)

 2) Load Gnote again from your applications menu (this will bring up Gnote application window itself this time)

 3) Go to Edit -> Preferences and un-check Use Status Icon

 4) Re-check Use Status Icon (this makes the tray icon become full width)

If you reboot your computer a lot it's a pain to do but I'm on a laptop so I suspend so this only becomes an issue once every few months.

MidBSD (mid-nimid) after the step in #7 status icon in systray is still not visible.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Does anyone still see a problem when using a currently supported version and/or flavour of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
