Call for quick testing on 14.04: xfce4-indicator-plugin

[Richard Elkins]

Thanks, Simon, for the quick response and action.

4 indicators under the indicator plug-in:

 1. Application Indicators
 2. Power Management
 3. Sound Menu
 4. Messaging Menu.

Much better.  My observations in the last 1/2 hour:

 1. The Audio Menu which was not visible before is now visible.
 2. *Still missing*: _Power Management_ indicator.
 3. Setting the overall "hide indicators by default" function now
    works.  The change is visible immediately and Logout-login shows "No
    Indicators" on Panel 0.
 4. Clearing the "hide indicators by default" function now works.  The
    change is visible immediately and Logout-login shows the indicators
    restored on Panel 0.
 5. Setting the "hidden" switch on an individual indicator works.  The
    change is visible immediately and Logout-login shows the indicator
    to be missing as expected on Panel 0.
 6. Clearing a "hidden" switch appears to be like a dead action because
    no change is immediately visible.  *However*, after logout-login,
    the reset did actually take even though it was not visible before
    logout.  Clearing the box should be immediately visible even though
    logout-login is needed for the clear to be in effect.

What can I do to assist?  Further information needed?  More testing?

Richard
