Title:
  indicator-application does not work in MATE 1.8

Status in Ubuntu MATE:
  Invalid
Status in “indicator-application” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
