Public bug reported:

Using Gnome-Shell 3.16 in Ubuntu 15.10, removing appmenu-qt5 is the only
way to get the vlc tray icon to show. You can confirm the problem by
attempting to start vlc in the tray while using gnome-shell:

vlc --qt-start-minimized

With appmenu-qt5 installed, the following error is generated, and the
vlc tray icon will NOT show (not even in the "drawer" at the bottom or
by using "top icons" extension):

qt4 interface error: cannot start minimized without system tray bar

After removing appmenu-qt5 then vlc will be able to start properly with
the above command (or starting normally will add the icon to the bottom
'legacy icon drawer' or to the panel using the "top icons" extension).

So, what is lost by removing appmenu-qt5? Is unity affected? I am hoping
to not cause a problem for a system with both Unity and Gnome-Shell
installed.
