Bug description:
[ Description ]
When gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is installed and in use, and
indicator-application is also in use, there is a race condition that
means that Ubuntu sessions might not show any appindicators. They each
try to claim a bus name, and only one thing may own the same bus name
at a time.
[ QA ]
1. Install indicator-application.
2. Enter an Ubuntu GNOME Shell session
3. Start something which displays an appindicator, for example transmission-gtk (turn on "Show Transmission in the notification area" in Preferences -> Desktop.
4. Make sure it displays
5. This bug is a race, and sometimes the appindicator will win the race and so they will work anyway. Open `journalctl -b` and check that there are no messages mentioning "org.kde.StatusNotifier". If the bug was happening you'd have a message from either the extension or indicator-application mentioning this name.
[ Fix ]
Don't run indicator-application on ubuntu sessions.
[ Regression potential ]
If someone has a different session called 'ubuntu' then this will stop
indicator-application running for them.
[ Original description ]
On an Ubuntu 18.10 system, the dropbox icon would not show in the
system tray panel. After searching the internet and trying various
fixes (which did not work as expected) I came across a link which said
indicator-application should be removed. I removed it along with the
indicator-applet app and things are working fine!.
