On Unity, unable to reopen Shutter from UI once it has been 'minimized to tray'

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

TEST CASE:
1. Launch shutter and set it to minimize to tray on close "Preferences/Behavior"
2. Close shutter by clicking on the window close icon
  -> Check that shutter is still running
  $ pgrep -lf shutter

Result:
Shutter icon on the launcher disappear, but there is no icon on the indicator to reopen it. The workaround is to launch it manually from a terminal to reopen the running instance.

Probably shutter needs to be allowed into the whitelist if this is going to be fixed. Either that or modified to leave it's launcher icon up.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

I say that and even after adding it to the whitelist it still doesn't appear. Looks like a bona fide problem with Shutter.

Adding it to the whitelist works great in natty - maybe it doesn't work in oneiric. A detailed description can be found here: http://shutter-project.org/2011/03/0-87-2-adds-quicklist-support/

As long as there is no real solution (indicator support) it might be useful to disable the related option in Shutter's preferences, see: http://ubuntuone.com/p/12md/

bug #766578 is the request to whitelist it

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

An appindicator has been added in the new upstream release. See LP: #664292 I'm on it.
