No clock in indicator applet complete running gnome flashback session.

Last working version - 12.10.3daily13.06.19-0ubuntu1. Starting from 12.10.3+13.10.20130628-0ubuntu1 clock donst work in gnome flashback session.

We've changed the indicator-architecture a bit to make it independent of gtk. Every component that shows indicators needs to be updated. I already did unity-panel-service and unity-greeter, but probably won't have time to fix up indicator-applet as well.

It's not a big change: instead of creating IndicatorObjects from .so files, you need to create IndicatorNg objects from keyfiles in /usr/share/unity/indicators. Also, custom menu items now live in ido, to get them you need to link against ido and call ido_init() right after gtk_init().

If someone wants to work on this, I'd be happy to provide more detail. Ping me on irc.

Created indicator loading from keyfiles. With this fix clock is back, but...

1. Didn't find gtk_init() in indicator-applet. Where to add ido_init()? Do i need to edit other package?
2. There is no calendar. Is this because of ido? Or now there is another problem?
3. How to get clock in its old position?

Alberts, thanks for working on this! Please also see my comments on the merge proposal

> 1. Didn't find gtk_init() in indicator-applet. Where to add ido_init()? Do i need to edit other package?

Sorry, I was a bit imprecise: ido_init() needs to be called after gtk_init() and before you create the first IndicatorNg.

> 2. There is no calendar. Is this because of ido? Or now there is another problem?

It's because of ido (the calendar widget is in there now).

> 3. How to get clock in its old position?

Sort the indicators by the value you get from indicator_object_get_position().
