Indicator in unity unresponsive after closing main window

[Serge Hallyn]

Binary package hint: tomboy

When I start up tomboy, the indicator goes up. When I close the main tomboy window, the tomboy task continues to run (as evidenced by ps) and the indicator remains in the top indicator area in Unity. But the indicator doesn't respond when I left- or right-click on it.

In fact, even some times when the main window is still up, the indicator does not respond.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Was the tomboy indicator the first indicator in the indicator list when it did not respond?

The left-most one, yes.

Can you show result of the command:
gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
and
sudo gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist

[Vadim (vadikgo)]

Workaround.
Set systray whitelist:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'padevchooser', 'deluge-gtk', 'qstardict', 'remmina']"

and restart unity

unity --replace

This bug affects me as well and the workaround doesn't work for me (moreover, Vadim, could you specify which entry in your whitelist you believe should have corrected the problem please?)
Restarting unity or tomboy sometimes fixes the problem temporarily, but it keeps coming back.
The symptoms are as described: after a while, clicking on the tomboy notes indicator doesn't show any menu anymore. The icon is still there, it's just it doesn't do anything when I click it (even though I have tomboy windows open).

Some problem here with tomboy, clipit, banshee indicators on Natty 64 bits.
Tomboy indicator doesn't work anymore. At first it works.
The rest of applications work at session start but after some time it doesn't work anymore.

$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
['all']

$ sudo gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
['all']
