Okay, so I spoke to the authors of appindicator and they couldn't work
it out, a bit of a mystery, so instead of subclassing, I am just using a
function to create a standard Indicator.
One problem I have come up with now is more alarming, my code is as follows:
uses
Gtk
AppIndicator
class wMain : GLib.Object
main_window : MainWindow
init
main_window = new MainWindow()
var indicator = new
Indicator("wasiliana","applications-utilities", Category.APPLICATION_STATUS)
indicator.set_status(Status.ATTENTION)
indicator.set_attention_icon ("indicator-messages-new")
var menu = new Menu()
var show_menuitem = new CheckMenuItem.with_label("Show Wasiliana")
menu.append(show_menuitem)
menu.show_all()
indicator.set_menu(menu)
//Gtk.main()
main_window.show_all()
init
Gtk.init (ref args)
var w = new wMain()
Gtk.main()
Now unless I uncomment the //Gtk.main(), the indicator doesn't show. I
don't know what the problem is, but one of the authors said it might be
something to do with references (but I have no idea what these are)
Any help?
