Bug Description

Impact: indicator icons stop updating sometime

Testcase:
- use a non US locale/keyboard
- start a guest session
- change they keyboard layout from the indicator
-> the icon in the panel should update to reflect the current layout

Regression potential: check that indicators icons are correctly listed and updated

-------

Selecting "Mute" from the sound indicator no longer updates the icon properly.

For example, my sound currently isn't muted, but the icon shows a muted speaker with an X beside it.

I cannot recreate the situation where I have audio while the panel sound indicator displays a muted icon. As far as I can tell, the indicator icon always represents the correct state of system audio.

I have however, seen a desynchronisation between the tick next to the "Mute" label within the sound indicator menu. Every now and again when clicking to enable and disable the "Mute" item, you have a situation where "Mute" will be unticked (incorrect) but the indicator shows the muted icon (correct), and vice versa.

Lars looked at it and said it's not an issue with the indicator but with unity/compiz, the panel syncing stop working sometimes

I only had problems with the sound indicator. All other indicators updated fine. The update in proposed fixed it for me, too. The versioning scheme of libindicator seems odd, though.

At first I just restarted unity, then I got some weird bugs and I think bamfdaemon crashed. I rebooted my computer and it is still there. Using the proposed libindicator7 version 12.10.2+13.10.20130913-0ubuntu2.
