Thank you so much, chinmaykamat! The workaround worked perfectly - I was beginning to worry I was the only one with the problem, since I couldn't find a bug report or support request anywhere. Chose...

If I understand this correctly, indexed images use a "color palette" to determine which color to display in each pixel. This probably means Firefox and Thunderbirds' palettes are borked, but it has...

Also, I checked on another computer - the screenshots I posted above are accurate. Those are really the colors it shows.

It's funny that only some pictures are skewed - when I open the "New York...

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't help. I noticed two more details:
- It seems to occur only in Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox, or at least I haven't yet seen an example elsewhere...

Hi, I just upgraded to Natty and some images display shifted colors, e.g. bright purple instead of yellow and bright green instead of whatever there used to be. Some images also show properly. I...

Thanks again! I did look at rememberthemilk but figured I'd explore it into more detail once I'm sure there is no better option. I will use that for tasks, then. Now off to choose the right Android...

Thanks timgood. Does that solution handle tasks? If it does, it is the exact thing I'm looking for. Google Calendar doesn't support tasks, so I'm curious how you solved them.

I've also been thinking I could split the problem up and use IMAP for mail, Google calendar for events and some third party software for tasks (e.g., rememberthemilk) - I'd still like to hear a few...

Hello everyone.

I have been struggling to set up and learn to use an efficient way of task & event management. At the moment, I use Thunderbird+Lightning with Gmail (IMAP) and it works OK. I would...

Hm, that's odd. At least I don't have to buy a new computer - I grew quite used to this one for work, it's not particularly good in anything, but well balanced.

It would be nice to have this fixed...

Hi.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10, and I run a lot of applications at once. The ones that are always present are Azureus, Firefox, Thunderbird, Virualbox (running Windows XP and MSO 2007), OpenOffice...

I honestly hope you folks have different issues... because mine was caused by a transparent panel and a beige desktop background :D The icons are intirely invisible on one of default Karmic...

Well, my icons don't appear twice, and it's always the same two icons: sound and network. However, it seems to me that it only gets borked if I use my external monitor (which is 90 percent of the...

Two reboots later, the icons are there. I'll see if they stay or disappear again.

I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and, apart from a few other quirks that I've already managed to resolve, I still have an issue with notification area icons. The network manager and sound icons... well,...

Finally solved. Vbox can use Windows XP's layouts (including my custom one) as long as no .xmodmap file is loaded when it starts. As it were, unplugging and plugging my external keyboard unloads any...

Bah, rebooting Ubuntu seems to have fixed it now - till next time. So far, it seems totally random.

OK, it got broken again and this time, reverting .VirtualBox doesn't solve it. Any ideas?

Hm, reverting .VirtualBox solved the issue. For now, at least.

Hi,

I am using a modified dvorak layout, with the help of a .xmodmap file which took years (literally) to make and fine-tune. I use Ubuntu as my main and only OS. However, I recently got a...

Bah, nevermind - it all boiled down to checking "Enabled" and unchecking "Shared" (although I didn't check if the latter is necessary).

I have this issue too. Is it really [solved] by reverting to an older version of Ubuntu? I would really like to find a different solution.

Thanks for the guide - it seems to have helped somewhat. The sound was broken with the new kernel, though, but switching everything to OSS seems to have fixed that.

thanks, CDtech, but it doesn't seem to help, even after rebooting. For example, my up key still xev's as an up key, but with shift, it becomes "sysreq" :D

I still haven't had any luck with this... so *bump* :)
