Bug Description
When I run autokey-qt as a startup application, its indicator often doesn't appear on Unity's top-panel (by the clock).
Why can't I successfully run autokey-qt as a startup application? By running autokey-qt as a start up application, is it somehow getting launched before the Unity top-panel is initialized? I'm able to run other indicators as startup applications (such as indicator-weather, hamster-indicator, parcellite). So why not autokey-qt?
To reproduce this bug, do the following:
1) Install autokey-qt:
sudo apt-get install autokey-qt
2) Add autokey-qt as a startup application:
Super-key > type "startup applications" > Add Name "Autokey (qt)" > Add Command "autokey-qt"
3) Restart Your Computer
4) Login, and notice that autokey's "A" icon-indicator/
5) The indicator is missing, but you can verify that the autokey-qt process is indeed running with System Monitor:
Super-key > type "system monitor" > System Monitor > Processes tab > Process Name > autokey-qt
6) See attached screen shot below.
So as, you can see, autokey-qt is running, but there is no way to use it without that indicator.
Workaround: Kill the orphan autokey-qt process and launch it again manually. However, my goal is to start it automatically each time I login, and the process should be killed each time I logout (So, that I don't get an "Already Running" error after logout and logging back in).
