No status icon shown in Cinnamon

[Kai Engert]

In bug 668160 you disabled the status icon when gnome-shell is being dected. Unfortunately, that disabled the status icon in Cinnamon, too, and IMHO it should be shown when running Cinnamon.

I suggest to add code to Deja-Dup that distinguishes between Gnome-Shell and Cinnamon.
I wrote about a way to do that at https://kuix.de/blog/index.php?entry=Detecting-the-Cinnamon-Desktop-using-a-D-Bus-property-and-Vala

I'm going to submit a suggested patch for Deja-Dup.

I've submitted the fix as a merge request in launchpad.

deja-dup (26.0-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Only use the GNOME Shell interface when actually in GNOME Shell,
      not something that is merely similar, like the Cinnamon shell
      (LP: #1155929)
    - When testing a restore, also use a temporary directory that is
      on the same partition as the include files (LP: #1159749)
    - Spread default backup time around a bit, from always starting at
      midnight UTC to starting between 2 and 4 AM local time
      (LP: #1154920)
    - Use more-aggressively-idle modes for ionice and nice if available
