Public bug reported:
This is a minor annoyance in my opinion. Please don't classify this as
"High".
Original gross symptoms:
* Indicator plug-in is missing the Sound Menu and Power Mgmt indicators.
* The "Hidden" check boxes were confusing because clicking (set or reset)
didn't always produce visible changes (pending restart of the xfce4-panel).
Working with Simon Steinbeiß, I installed an additional PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thad-fisch/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xfce4-indicator-plugin
Some observations follow.
The good news:
* The Sound Menu indicator which was not visible before is now visible.
* Setting the overall "hide indicators by default" function now works. The
change is visible immediately and Logout-login shows "No Indicators" on Panel 0.
* Clearing the "hide indicators by default" function now works. The change is
visible immediately and Logout-login shows the indicators restored on Panel 0.
* Setting the "hidden" switch on an individual indicator works. The change is
visible immediately and Logout-login shows the indicator to be missing as
expected on Panel 0.
Room for improvement:
* Still missing on Panel 0: Power Management indicator. This machine has
indicator-power 12.10.6+14.04.20140328-0ubuntu1 installed.
* Clearing a "hidden" switch appears to be like a dead action because no change
to the checkbox is immediately visible to the operator. However, after
logout-login, the reset did actually take even though it was not visible before
logout. Clearing the box should be immediately visible even though
logout-login is needed for the clear to be in effect.
Need any tests or further logs or other info from me?
