Bug Description

Hi,
recently I am testing new alpha release of Ubuntu 14.10 and I noticed issue with application owncloud-client. After installing, configuring and starting the owncloud-client, its indicator is placed absolutely on the left of the upper panel. It should be placed on the right - beside the rest of the indicators.

The same version, the same bug. Really annoying, and I do not see any config option to move it to the right place.

The problem here is that owncloud-client doesn't actually produce an indicator, but rather an old-style systray icon. Until now this wasn't a problem because a Qt plugin called sni-qt[1] would automatically convert systray icons to indicators. Unfortunately, sni-qt doesn't support Qt5[2], and between the trusty and utopic versions owncloud-client switched from building against Qt4 to Qt5.

There are a couple of possible solutions:
1. Try to build the current version of the client against Qt4
2. Update sni-qt to support Qt5
3. Patch in support for AppIndicator[3] or StatusNotifierItem[4][5] directly

The sni-qt project seems to be dead, with no updates since Quantal (12.10) so 2. seems unlikely without some community help.

Debian is now building the client against Qt4.

Hi,
I just tested with recent daily build of Ubuntu 14.10 in VirtualBox, installed owncloud-client, version 1.6.3+dfsg-0ubuntu1.
I can confirm now the indicator is correctly placed next to Network Manager indicator.

What you can suggest me, what might be the reason that owncloud client is not visible?
I have Dropbox, Skype and other icons, but no ownclod client icon.

For some reason the bug emerged again with the latest version in Ubuntu 14.04 sni-qt is installed but the Icon is shown completely on the left.
