Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

There is a 1px black line in the notification area. I don't believe it was originally there when I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3. Probably has something to do with the Network Manager icon, since when I have other programs running that use the notification area (ex. Tomboy Notes), it always displays to the left of the Network Manager icon.

My resolution is 1920x1200. See attached screenshot.

Thats unlikely to be a notification area bug. It's more likely a problem with an application you're running. Do you have Empathy open?

Nice call. The 1px black line only shows up when Empathy is running.

After closing and re-opening Empathy, it is no longer there. When screwing around to try to reproduce it, it displayed shortly and then disappeared again. Not sure if I can reproduce it.
