No indicator icon for Deluge in Unity

It seems that we need an explicit dependency on python-indicator package.

I couldn't find python-indicator in the repos, but python-appindicator did solve the issue. I guess it was renamed at some point, or it is a typo. Anyway, I can confirm that the package (python-appindicator) solves this, so an explicit dependency on it should fix the bug.

Does this bug render the application window unreachable at some point, or it's just the indicator doesn't show up ?

When answered, please set this bug status back to "confirmed".

Yes, if you have the option to close to tray icon enabled, Deluge stays active, but you can't reach the window, while the icon doesn't show up -- system monitors will list Deluge as running. But when you run Deluge again from its launcher, it won't open a second instance, but simply activate the hidden active window. So technically it IS reachable that way... So I am not totally sure how to answer to your question.

@ Franko Burolo

You clarified my doubts, thank you.

No problem. :-)

Hi,

As stated above, it seems this issue can be resolved by adding 'python-appindicator' as a dependancy to 'deluge' and/or 'deluge-gtk' as manually installing python-appindicator and restarting deluge-gtk shows the app indicator

Hello Franko, or anyone else affected,

Accepted deluge into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deluge/1.3.10-2ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

OK, first I have uninstalled python-appindicator, to revert to the buggy behaviour... :-D
Then I have enabled proposed and upgraded Deluge from there. This time it HAS pulled down python-appindicator with it, as expected. I have disabled back proposed, started Deluge, and now the indicator icon is in place and working fine.

Thank you very much! :-)
