Bug Description

Binary package hint: revelation

I have created a small patch to Revelation, to better handle the background of the applet.
Previously, the background of the Revelation applet did not turn transparent together with the rest of the panel. This patch supports such behaviour.
Since I am unable to reach the Revelation issue tracker, subversion server or mailing lists, I am posting it here.

Hi James,

Thanks for picking up on this.
I have emailed Erik Grinaker, the person who is mentioned on Revelation's homepage:

I have not received a reply yet, but I'll post here as soon as I do.

Regards,
Jeroen

Just a quick update, I have not heard from Erik yet.

Is there a way we can at least get the patch into the Revelation version Ubuntu packages?

    panels. (LP: #284846)
