[Bug 609827] Re: Tray icon doesn't show anymore in 1.6.3

[Maia Kozheva]

Debdiff.

liferea (1.6.3-1ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/libindicate.patch:
    + ui/ui_indicator.c:
      - Correctly determine when the indicator menu is unavailable, to show
        the notification area icon as a fallback (LP: #609827).
    + ui/ui_prefs.c:
      - Hide all tray-related checkboxes in indicator mode; leave the "start
        minimized" checkbox shown and rename it accordingly.

Status in “liferea” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: liferea

After updating the Liferea package to version 1.6.3 (-1ubuntu3), the tray icon doesn't work anymore.

I tried adding an indicator applet to the panel, but that shows other unnecessary icons, and combines Liferea and Pidgin (which does still have its own tray icon) into one email-looking icon, thus obscuring new news items.

I've downgraded back to version 1.6.2 for now. Please put back Liferea's tray icon. It wasn't perfect, but much better than that indicator thing.
