Title:
  [16.10] indicator-application isn't aware of MATE

Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Fix Committed
Status in indicator-application package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Starting from 16.10, Ubuntu MATE developers switched the whole MATE
  Desktop Environment to GTK+3. As a consequence, mate-indicator-applet
  now uses indicator-application instead of legacy indicator-
  application-gtk2. But indicator-application uses .desktop file instead
  of D-Bus service (I guess it has been changed in [1]), and indicator-
  application.desktop file doesn't know about MATE:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Type=Application
  Name=Indicator Application
  Exec=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service
  StartupNotify=false
  Terminal=false
  OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;
  AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome

  So, currently indicator-application doesn't show up in mate-indicator-
  applet on mate-panel as the service isn't running. If I run indicator-
  application-service manually, indicator-application works as intended
  (e.g. nm-applet is switched to it instead of using tray icon).

  Please, let indicator applet know about MATE.
