I am using Ubuntu 10.10 there is an icon left of the clock, its for Assistive Technologies - Universal Access Preferences. I have uninstalled the program, but the icon remains left of the clock. Can anyone please tell me how to remove that icon.

Many thanks
Dan

You should be able to right click and select remove from panel . If it remains reboot.

I have tried the right click, nothing happens when I right click.
Thanks, any other thoughts please?

Post a screencap, I think. There are two items there it could be a part of - the notification area and the indicator applet. There's some setting somewhere that's causing it to appear in one of the two. It doesn't sound like it's its own applet.

- go to "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Accessibility"
- untick the most upper option, "Accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts"

Greetings.

This helped me to fix the problem, many thanks to all who contributed to this effort. Still, I wonder how it is that even after removal of the application, the icon remained - until I did as described above.

What package did you remove then, specifically?
