strange box in upper left corner of screen

[andi99]

Hi all,

yesterday I had to install about a gazillion dependencies to be able to compile a large software package. Now I have a gray box in the upper left corner of the screen which obscures part of my menus. I cannot access my applications anymore (I'm using Gnome classic desktop, Ubuntu 12.04 32bit). The box says "Default (local)" and has a green dot next to it. Here a screenshot;


Any ideas what this is and how I can get rid of it?

Yours,
Andi

Found the solution after a lot of try and error. Rivendell, the large software package I mentioned brings in the newest version a monitoring application, rdmonitor. This one was responsible for this box.

Not an Ubuntu issue after all...

Yours,
Andreas
