Comment 38 for bug 45656

However, if you apply the patch I did before [1] on 2006-05-28, the bubble shows with correct dimensions even in that case (many icons in the tray icon area). Here's an screenshot that shows it. It's the same case as above, after applying the patch and restarting the notification-daemon.

Notification-daemon, therefore, seems to have a better behavior in some cases when you apply the patch, although it does not yet resolve the issue I told in comment #34 and in bug #56581, which could require a deeper hack.

Michael, this patch was proposed to be introduced into dapper-updates (according to the DapperReleaseRadar [2], "Post-release updates" section), but that never was done. Will this be done during Dapper lifecycle?

Another possibility could be to introduce the patch into Edgy looking for feedback from the Edgy users, testers and developers.
