I just noticed a blue triangle icon on my 'Ubuntu' icon. What could it mean?

Does the picture you posted have the 'Start' icon? If so, where? – mikewhatever Aug 06 '11 at 06:07

@mikewhatever I think he's referring to the Ubuntu button in the upper-left, which would be roughly analogous to Windows's "Start" button. – Knowledge Cube Aug 06 '11 at 08:06

I am sorry for that. I was really referring to the Ubuntu button in the upper-left. Can't figure out what to call it at that moment. – JohanSJA Aug 06 '11 at 08:11

The little blue triangle is an indicator that shows when an application is requesting user attention (for instance, a dialogue pops up).
The triangle is in the corner, and indicates the direction/place that the user needs to move the cursor in order to reveal the auto-hidden Launcher.

haha I thought it was a graphic artifact, a bug of some sort... You know like if the screen would be rounded up. – jokoon Aug 06 '11 at 22:58
