You're missing AppIndicator3 lib, which is normal because you're not running Unity. This should fall back to GnomeStatusIndicator. And you are missing Wnck library for the same reason. There is no fallback for that. Try installing libwnck-3-0 and gir1.2-wnck-3.0.

If it tries to pull too many dependencies, then I'll have to think of another workaround for this.

Is this still an issue with the latest 1.3.5 version from unstable PPA? Did ayone tried installing the additional packages I suggested?

[Alessandro (alesandromarkes-linux)]

I can confirm this bug. I'm using Kubuntu 12.04 with installed official package version 1.0.6 and the installation of "gir1.2-wnck-3.0" resolved the problem. The package "libwnck-3-0" was installed like dependency.

Latter I will try install the ppa version and report.

[David Klasinc (bigwhale)]

I added gir1.2-wnck-3.0 as a dependency and future releases should not be affected by this. Thanks for help.
