Comment 4 for bug 731618

Both the indicator-applet, indicator-applet-session, and notification area are in the panel and after countless reboots and logins, the cloudsn icon still didn't appear.

The config file had "indicator = Indicator Applet" (without quotes) so that's where it should have been appearing. I deleted the config file, logged out and back in again and now the icon is back. Interestingly, the newly created config file has "indicator = " (no setting) and this is also blank in the gui.

If I try to change the indicator setting in the gui, nothing happens; the config file remains the same. If I change the indicator setting to "Indicator Applet" and also the password manager setting to "Gnome Keyring" the changes get saved. That in itself is a bug. I can then go back into preferences, change the password manager back to plain text, restart cloudsn, and the problem is back again.

So in summary, I think there are three related bugs here:

1. The default setting for indicator is blank. If this is correct it shouldn't show up in the notification area or notification area should be the default;
2. Changes to the indicator setting using the preferences dialog doesn't get saved;
3. An indicator setting of "Indicator Applet" causes the icon not to appear on the toolbar.
