[Bug 805747] Re: Unnecessary gst-keyboard-xkb appearing in Notification Area when multiple keyboard layouts enabled
GNOME Shell assigns known tray icons a 'role' based on their WM_CLASS.
If the role that is filled by a native Shell status indicator, the icon
is hidden. That list could be patched for a quick fix, but I'd prefer
using the upstream icon as a fallback; is there any chance of that
happening? The AppIndicator fallback does not identify the current
layout.

Title:
Unnecessary gst-keyboard-xkb appearing in Notification Area when
multiple keyboard layouts enabled
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Running GNOME3 and enabling a second keyboard layout has caused a
"[broken image] gst-keyboard-xkb" to appear in my Notification Area.
gnome-shell's active layout indicator up next to accessibility and
volume is present and working. But a separate thing, calling itself
"gst-keyboard-xkb" with a menu is incorrectly appearing in the
Notification Area.
The annoying thing in the Notification Area would appear to be related
to the libappindicator3-1 dependency but may be a GtkStatusIcon driven
fallback.
Rebuilding the package to remove the appindicator support patches
would likely fix the issue; that's not the right resolution of course
but upstream does not consider this their problem since it arrises
from an Ubuntu patch.
