Oops, sorry, I didn't see that, maybe used the wrong keywords^^
Though it's kind of different, since on my laptop does it even if I don't suspend. Anyway, I will try the solutions, thank you.

Hi there,
now that I have finally installed #! on my laptop, after some problems with what I assume was a faulty CD, there is one little problem with this otherwise awesome distribution: The battery tray icon moves to the left, stepwise, until it disappears. Also it takes everything in its way with it, so all icons in the panel eventually vanish. This only happens when my laptop is plugged in, which is most of the time, when it runs on battery I couldn't observe this behaviour. The only workaround I found was disabling the battery icon as a whole, which works well for me most of the time, but I have to re-enable it before I go mobile, so I can see hoe much power is left which is just a minor inconvenience, but still a little annoying. Does anyone have a solution to this?
I'm using the current version of #! and it showed this problem from the beginning, so no added software is at fault. Screen resolution is 1366x768 if that matters. edit: Changing the resolution doesn't solve it.
Here is a screenshot so you know what I am talking about (I moved the battery icon to the left of the tray, so you can see that it alone is responsible, not the whole tray):

Well, thanks for all the (free?) food and information. Gotta get to sleep now, so I won't lie in bed all morning tomorrow. See you.

People outside of the Holland region (which consists of two provinces if I'm not mistaken) don't like it when you refer to the whole country as Holland, as you can imagine. It would be like calling Germany Baden-Württemberg or Austria Tirol.
Yeah, that's what I heard too. It's just that my friends won't believe me

Probably most common is not saying anything, followed by "bless you" (can't offend anyone...) then "god bless you" and finally "gesundheit"
Funny that you mentioned the god-issue, since I just thought about that when writing "Grüß Gott" in the title. You see, "Gott" means "god", as you might or might not have guessed, and as an atheist I always feel kind of uncomfortable using that phrase, but it's the common greeting form towards (adult) strangers or people of high rank. I might also say something like "Guten Tag (= Good day)" but that just feels awfully "german", and since there's no way to say it in an Austrian dialect it sounds strange^^

I agree with these guys on sneezing -- why grant it any power by recognizing it? Speaking of sneezes reminds me of a silly old poem I wrote back around 1991 or so
If I had a nickel
For every time I sneezed,
I'd be standing in dollar bills
Clear up to my knees.
That reminds me of how a teacher of mine used to answer to sneezes. He said "Zreißn soids di in lauter Hunderter" which you might translate to "May you explode into a shower of hundred euro bills"^^

Welcome to #!
Yes, some americans say "gesundheit" others say "god bless you"
I'm with rhowaldt -- I don't say anything.
Ah, didn't update the page so I didn't see your post. Thank you very much for your answer. So are those two phrases the most common, or is there something else between " (God) Bless you" and "Gesundheit" when ranked according to popularity, except not saying anything?
To everyone else: If you say "Gesundheit" in your country too, please tell me^^

i'm Dutch, and some people here also say 'Gesundheit' when someone sneezes sometimes. i just say 'gezondheid' which you can probably read is the same thing but in Dutch, or i say nothing at all because... well, why would you say anything?
Yeah, I too usually say nothing at all, especially since I heard that the origin of this ritual is the superstition that one's soul could be pushed out of the body when you sneeze^^. I was merely interested if what I heard about people in America saying "Gesundheit" is actually true. Well, now at least I know that people in the Netherlands say it. Which reminds me of something I wanted to ask a Dutchman, flying or not, anyway: How do you call your country? Because in Austria, people usually call it either "Holland" or "Niederlande", but as I understand it "Holland" is only a part of the whole Netherlands, am I correct?

Hi everyone, I just created a forum account, even tough I didn't install #! yet; but from what I hear and already saw it will be much to my liking. I just love minimalistic designs (despite my friends always say something like "urgh" when they see my desktop) and from reading the forums I got the impression that this might be a fun place.
Oh yeah, the title is in German, or to be precise Austrian, since I'm from Austria, which actually leads me to my totally unrelated question: If there is an American here, could you please tell me if you really occasionally say "Gesundheit!" when someone sneezes?
