Running gpodder 2.18 on Ubuntu 11.04 with the Unity interface (gpodder
from http://ppa.launchpad.net/thp/gpodder/ubuntu/) it *does* correctly
minimise to the top panel.

True, I was sure that was not the case but re-trying on my 11.04
system I see that is correct. Perhaps it was different on an earlier
version.

That was part of the purpose of asking. If the fundamental problem is
that it should be upgraded then it seems odd that the version
available as standard with the latest version of Ubuntu is not up to
the job. I wonder who is responsible for packaging it for Ubuntu.
I will try the ppa for 11.04 and see if I can get the later version.
Thanks
