[Bug 917386] [NEW] Unity panel doesn't fit with onboard hide button

[David López]

Public bug reported:

1) I use ubuntu 11.10 completely updated

2) I use onboard 0.96.2 from the stable PPA

3) In unity, when I open onboard with 'show status icon' option marked
then a small icon appears in the top bar, and when I click on 'Hide
onboard' button with the X mark the icon remains on the bar (that's OK).
When I open with 'show status icon' unmarked then a big icon appears in
the left panel (that's OK). I expected that clicking on 'Hide onboard'
minimizates onboard but the icon in the left panel doesn't dissapear.

4) What happened instead: the onboard icon in the left panel dissapears,
so in this case the onboard window can't be recovered and it's necesary
to open a new onboard instance.

Moreover, the 'Hide onboard' icon (X) is confusing, because it's similar
to classical 'close' sign. I haven't notice that that button minimizates
onboard instead of closing it, and I open a new instance over and over;
I didn't know but I had more than 20 onboard instances opened (12MB of
RAM each one).

Please note, the classical small 'minimize' button in the window
decoration worked fine with the unity left panel, it's your own 'Hide
onboard' button which doesn't.
