Menu pops up in the center of the screen

[Thomas Novin]

[Impact]

 * When parcellite is started the context menu pops up in the center of the screen. This is a regression from previous releases.

[Test Case]

 * Start parcellite from trusty, the menu will pop up.
 * Install parcellite from trusty-proposed, restart it, and see no menu popup.

[Regression Potential]

 * There is little regression potential. The code touched is during startup calling check_for_appindictor, so any regression would likely manifest in a problem starting the program or it appearing in the panel.

-----------------

After logging in, I have the Parcellite menu in the center of the screen. The same that you can activate by ctrl-alt-P by default. I have to make a selection to make it go away. For example about, and then close that.

This is a duplicate of bug 118

https://sourceforge.net/p/parcellite/bugs/118/

It was verified on Unity and there is a workaround in SVN on Parcellite's source.

It is a libappindicator quirk, which can be verified by uninstalling Unity (including libappindicator) and running it again.

I need to release 1.18 soon. There are many things fixed - I just don't like it's performance yet on my daily dev box.
