Any suggestions on what I can do to stop this notification??????
Kernel = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8
When I installed it from the dvd on my multi-boot laptop I selected kde
and unselected gnome as well as any other desktops. Yet certain services
seem to insist on using gnome daemons. (for example I can't use the
keyboard shortcut screen in the kde control center to assign my chosen
shortcuts. But must use the mouse centric control in:
<alt>+<f1> > system > preferences > personal > keyboard shortcuts)
So I'm not sure if I need a kde solution or a gnome one.
In any case any/all updates on this system are done from a run level 3
virtual console using yum at a root command prompt. My normal user
account isn't supposed to be able to update any system software so why
automatically bug me with the notification every time I run startx?
The notification seams to be emanating from a system tray mini-icon
that to me looks like an open brown paper bag with the top slightly
rolled down like a cuff??? there is nothing to identify what service I
need to disable to stop it from coming back. Nor of course what else
would break if the service in question wasn't running...
I don't like my desktop to be cluttered with messages like that. I
especially don't like it when said messages can only be accessed/closed
with the mouse. I am extremely keyboard centric. My hand eye coordination
is such that at times it can take minutes to line up the freaking mouse
pointer on the little x so that a click will close the notification
pop-up. If it could be accessed via <alt>+<tab> Then closed with keyboard
shortcuts I'd be less annoyed by it.
