[Bug 1220487] Re: Messages indicator does not indicate new messages

 

The attached python script (contributed by <trism> in #ubuntu+1
channel), when coupled with a .desktop file and configured in dconf
indicator/messages does trigger an attention icon. When you remove
attention from the application, the icon returns to its normal status.

Title:
  Messages indicator does not indicate new messages

Status in “indicator-messages” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I noticed after performing updates 2-3 weeks ago that my messages
  indicator no longer turns blue to notify me that I have chat messages
  waiting. It also does not show unread chat messages in the list like
  it used to. I have confirmed that Xchat and Gwibber/Friends messages
  do not appear to trigger a new waiting message indicator either.

  I have tried reinstalling indicator-messages, and I have confirmed
  empathy.desktop exists in dconf
  com.canonical.indicator.messages:applications. None of these have
  fixed the issue.

  I suspect a required package was removed or a new setting was not
  applied, but I don't know what it could be.
