Bug Description

Binary package hint: notify-osd

When using Notify-OSD with the Human theme, everything works just fine and dandy.

However, when using other icon sets there are variable errors with Notify-OSD's brightness and volume meters:

1. Black bubbles appear with no content (for brightness and volume)
2. No bubbles (for brightness and volume)
3. Bubble appears for volume but has wrong icon (the GNOME icon, not the standard iconset-neutral one) and none appears for brightness.

(these are just those that I have observed)

I have previously tackled this problem by taking the Human icon theme and replacing its icons with the ones I want and then editing the index.theme. Obviously, this is not the way we want Notify-OSD to work.

Tested on an up-to-date build of Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 as of 20:00 Eastern March 20, 2009
