Bug Description

Adding "Indicator applet appmenu" to a panel in gnome classic/fallback causes all items in the panel to disappear. Alt+right-click -> delete on the upper left of the panel causes everything to be fixed.

ProblemType: Bug

[Test Case]
1. install gnome-session-flashback.
2. login in session.
3. add indicator-applet-appmenu to gnome-panel. at this point menu-bar will dissapear.
4. remove indicator-applet-appmenu from panel to get menu-bar back.

[Regression Potential]
I think there is no regression potential. Same fix is used for external applets built with libpanel-applet library.

Is there any workaround? Currently, global menu is not usable in flashback session on Saucy and Trusty.

It seems (from gnome-flashback mailing list) unity-gtk-module is responsible for this. Adding it to affected project.

no longer affects: indicator-applet

Hi Khurshid, can you provide a link to the gnome-flashback mailing list archive that says it's a unity-gtk-module problem? Thanks.

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!
