It's been mostly raining here, except for today! It's so bright outside... Now about your issue... gmail-notifier exits if it's unable to download your gmail rss feed. This happens in one of the following cases: 1) You entered an invalid username/password. 2) You aren't connected to the internet. Are you using wifi? If so, then it's most likely case #2. AFAIK, nm-applet doesn't connect automatically. So, if gmail-notifier.py were started before nm-applet had a chance to connect, then it would exit. I'll add a longer initial timeout, and perhaps a descriptive error message when I get home. Google Chrome 4.0.258.0 GNU/Linux x64 GNU/Linux x64

I have gone to system->preferences-> startup applications and added an entry with the command set as gmail-notifier.py (this is the command of the gmail-notifier menu launcher). For some reason though gmail-notifier never starts up with the computer. It does start up easily if I manually select the launch in applications->internet. Firefox 3.5.5 Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu 9.10

Also, I haven't been able to figure out what signal (if any) gets called when the user clicks the indicator-applet. Google Chrome 4.0.258.0 GNU/Linux x64 GNU/Linux x64

I'm not sure I can change that as it stands. Once I figure out what signal is called when the you click the Indicator-Applet, I'll be sure to implement what you suggested. =D Once again, thanks for your comments.
