** Summary changed:

- Libindicate support in 'clipit' causes complete freeze in X
+ Generic Libindicate fallback support breaks applications (such as clipit) on 
non-Unity WMs/DEs

** Description changed:

  Clipit is a clipboard manager.  The user interacts with Clipit by
  clicking on an icon/menu shown either in the notification area, or more
  if compiled with support enabled, via libindicate.  Indicator support
- has been enabled since version 1.3.6-1ubuntu1 (December 2010).
+ has been enabled in Ubuntu since version 1.3.6-1ubuntu1 (December 2010).
  
- To reproduce the bug:
+ Libindicate has fallback support meaning that if Indicator support is
+ not provided by the Window Manager or Desktop Environment then the
+ design is fallback and draw the indicator using the Notification Area
+ direct-drawing support.  This fallback support appears to be mis-
+ functioning on some WMs/DEs.
  
-   1. sudo apt-get install clipit
-   2. clipit & (an new indicator appears)
-   3. click 1-2 times on on the new indicator icon
+ To reproduce the bug;  switch to a WM such as Fluxbox; then:
+ 
+   1. sudo apt-get install clipit
+   2. clipit & (an new indicator appears)
+   3. click 1-2 times on on the new indicator icon
  
  What happens:
  
-   a. (clipit:32253): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_event: assertion 
`WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed
-   b. The graphical session cannot continue to be used, having crashed the 
window manager.  (note: complete freeze under fluxbox 1.1.1)
