I think that there are two issues involved: 1. The current libappindicator1 version is designed to fall-back on some icon cache. 2. The current ubuntu-mono broke that cache's content in postinst.
As such, if I understand this correctly, downgrading libappdindicator1 reverts display to using non-cached items, which always works, but can be momentarily broken when the menu content is refreshed (it among other things can make nm-applet crash, which was the reason for this bug report in the first place and the current libappindicator1 indeed prevent that crash). This is what makes people think that reverting libappindicator1 is the correct choice, even though it isn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741385 Title: icons in notification area are broken -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
