Hi
Gnote was one of the default icons in the GNOME Panel and in GNOME Shell, the sidebar doesn't have it and it seems that starting it manually puts it in the bottom (message tray?). How do I make it start by default and what is the recommendation for it to integrate with GNOME Shell properly? It seems that in the overview mode, sometimes the icons are not easy or impossible to click (applicable to Gnote, Xchat etc) Is it intended design that it be visible only in the overview mode?
I'll ask Jon to give his thoughts too, but I think the basic recommendations are
- don't use a statusicon - make it a real application - don't start it by default - integrate the hotkeys properly with the control-center key bindings - arrange for gnote to be activated when the keybindings are used
Also, Gnote package includes the applet. Should this be split up from Gnote and not installed by default since GNOME Shell doesn't support applets?
I think we probably don't need the applet anymore, even in fallback mode.
