No tray icon in gnome3 (classic too)

[Christophe de Vienne]

I just installed version 0.9.0 from backports and now the tray icon is missing.

When I say missing, I mean I don't have the icon of Sparkespare but either a default one (in gnome3 standard), either a black spot (in gnome3 classic).

Regards,

Christophe

I had that behaviour when using the 0.8-series version in the repo's.
The notification was was there, but there was no icon, so only when I directly clicked on it would it appear.

I uninstalled that, downloaded the 0.9-series from backports and did a "dpkg -i" on the .deb file
after logging out and back in, I now have the little sparkleshare icon, including the spinner when items are syncing.

I still do not, however have the Nautilus integration even though the plugin is present at /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/sparkleshare-nautilus3-extension.py

Launching nautilus from a terminal window shows the dropbox plugin loading, but not the sparkleshare one.

And after a fresh restart, I now also have the Context-menu item for sparkleshare. (and have had one sparkleshare "fatal unhandled exception"). So it seems to be working for me now.
