Having removed various unity indicators as recommended in that report, removing topicons plus and KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator extensions, Ubuntu appindicators now works.
The only issue I now have is that I wish the old format menu could be shown, with the 2nd level menu items shown off to one side rather than inline. Is there any way to do that?
Me again...
It seems that there are ubuntu 17.10 issues. See https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ indicator- application/ +bug/1728449 and others.
