Public bug reported:

Ubuntu version: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
indicator-application version: 12.10.1+14.04.20140407-0ubuntu1
indicator-application-gtk2 version: 12.10.0.1-0ubuntu2


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Xubuntu 14.04
2. Install MATE 1.8 following the instructions at http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-mate-18-in-ubuntu.html
3. Install mate-indicator-applet (a container for the indicators) and add it to MATE panel
4. Install indicator-application and indicator-application-gtk2


What expected to happen:

Working indicator-application, displaying the network manager icon in mate-indicator-applet area.
At the same time, the network manager icon should disappear from the notification area.


What happened instead:

The indicator-application apparently does not run.
No network manager icon is displayed in mate-indicator-applet area.
The network manager icon is still displayed in the notification area.


Additional info:

1. All the steps above worked fine before in Ubuntu 13.10.

2. If I manually run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service from the terminal,
the network manager icon disappears from the notification area, but it still doesn't appear in mate-indicator-applet area.
At the same time, a message is displayed in the terminal:

initctl: UPSTART_SESSION isn't set in the environment. Unable to locate
the Upstart instance.

3. On the contrary, indicator-sound/indicator-sound-gtk2 work in MATE just fine. The volume icon is properly displayed
in mate-indicator-applet area.
