[Scott Sweeny <1347128@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem here is that owncloud-client doesn't actually produce an
indicator, but rather an old-style systray icon. Until now this wasn't a
problem because a Qt plugin called sni-qt[1] would automatically convert
systray icons to indicators. Unfortunately, sni-qt doesn't support
Qt5[2], and between the trusty and utopic versions owncloud-client
switched from building against Qt4 to Qt5.

There are a couple of possible solutions:
1. Try to build the current version of the client against Qt4
2. Update sni-qt to support Qt5
3. Patch in support for AppIndicator[3] or StatusNotifierItem[4][5] directly

The sni-qt project seems to be dead, with no updates since Quantal
(12.10) so 2. seems unlikely without some community help.

  Owncloud client indicator has wrong position - absolutely on the left

Bug description:
  Hi,
  recently I am testing new alpha release of Ubuntu 14.10 and I noticed issue with application owncloud-client. After installing, configuring and starting the owncloud-client, its indicator is placed absolutely on the left of the upper panel. It should be placed on the right - beside the rest of the indicators.
