Cellwriter icon doesn't appear on the Unity panel

[carlosv]

When lauching cellwriter the icon should appear on the panel. Using Unity it doesn't appear.

The icon should appear on the panel. But it appears in Unity 2d and Gnome and works fine.

Same for unity2d in oneric. I don't know that much about it but I think that unity isn't the same as gnome, so I suspect that the cell writer icon works as a gnome panel icon and unity doesn't support these things. It'd be nice if it did though.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is that still an issue in Ubuntu 11.10?

Unfortunately the bug stills there in Ubuntu 11.10. The integration of Cellwriter (which, in my opinion, is basic for touchscreens) is poorly supported in Unity 3D.

Hi there,

The solution is here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html

It works on Ubuntu 12.04

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS, I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.
