I can confirm this is still present on a fresh install of vivid/15.04
with MATE & liferea package 1.10.12-1ubuntu1.

On initial launch, Liferea just seems to hang and in `strace` it is
stuck in a loop (`top` indicating <1% CPU usage) at

    recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"U\2;\1SP]\3\3\20\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\20\20\20\20\20\0\0\3\37\205\3\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
    recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
    recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
    poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 4, 3654) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLIN}])
    recvmsg(7, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"U\2;\1@R]\3\3\24\4\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\24\24\24\24\24\0\0\3\37B\2\0\0", 4096}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
    recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5550, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
    recvmsg(7, 0x7ffd814d5530, 0)           = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)


However, if forced to show using `liferea --mainwindow-state="shown"`, then it appears. (Subsequent invocations also need `--mainwindow-state` as well, it seems.)

Title:
  liferea is completely invisible when running on xubuntu

Status in liferea package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The patch recently applied to liferea for Unity messaging menu support
  (port-to-messaging-menu.patch) broke liferea on xubuntu. It eliminated
  liferea's system tray icon, thereby making liferea inaccessible in
  xfce when running minimized or started in a minimized state (as is the
  case for most people who let it auto-start at login time).

  Here is the changelog entry corresponding to the offending patch:

  > liferea (1.8.10-0ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low
  >
  >   * Port to messaging-menu. (LP: #1040259)
  >  -- Dmitrijs Ledkovs <dmitrij.ledkov@xxxxxxxxxx> Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:55:30 +0000
