[Bug 1639793] [NEW] icon disappears from python appindicators after screen lock/suspend

 

Public bug reported:

After every standby/suspend or screen lock, a python app-indicator now
(16.10) displays an "missing icon" (framed black rectangle with red
strike-through) instead of the original icon. This was not the case in
16.04. Killing and restarting this indicator's process makes the correct
icon visible again.

The app indicator uses python3 and the following library:

    gi.require_version('AppIndicator3', '0.1')
    from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator

The indicator is initialized with an icon path as follows:

    ind = appindicator.Indicator.new_with_path(
        indicator_name,
        icon_name,
        appindicator.IndicatorCategory.HARDWARE,
        resource_path)

where resource_path is a sub directory in ~/.local/bin and icon_name is
an existing svg file.
