[Bug 1720363] Re: keyboard layout indicator sometimes doesn't appear on session start

[Robert Tari]

Update:

The bug is in the mate-settings-daemon. Although it is running, it very
often fails to display the indicator. The only workaround for me right
now is to kill it, which causes it to reload itself. Repeat until the
keyboard indicator is displayed.

killall mate-settings-daemon
