Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
Package: gnome-panel 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
What expected to happen?
Icons in notification-area applet should have the same spacing as other icons in gnome-panel.
What happened instead?
Icons have 1px spacing.
Simple solution:
Change in applets/
#define ICON_SPACING 1
to
#define ICON_SPACING 10
Possible problems:
Spacing may vary in different themes, maybe should be described in settings.

Complete Translation as follows with a couple updates for simplicity:
"To get this effect, we must do the following:
1. Enable the source code repository. Ubuntu Software Center > Edit > Software Sources > and check Source Code.
2. In the console go to the appropriate directory (cd /usr/src) and type the command: (note: current version might not be 2.30.2, so just look for the proper folder if it's different and cd into that folder.)
sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-panel & & sudo apt-get source gnome-panel & & cd gnome-panel-2.30.2
3. Now we need to fix the source code. Type:
gksu gedit applets/
4. On line 35 we see (It might not be line 35 in current version, but just look for this phrase)
# Define ICON_SPACING 1
Replace 1 with the desired number. I'm using 10.
5. Built and install the package with the following command.
sudo dpkg-buildpackage
Now you can re-login to the system, or remove the applet and re-add it. This will update the changes. "
