Bug Description

[Impact]

It looks like "OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;" has been added to indicator-datetime, indicator-session, and indicator-sound

We should provide a patch to add "Pantheon" to that list.

[Test Case]

(1) install the Pantheon desktop sesssion (eg. Elementary OS) and log in
(2) verify the appropriate indicator (for this case, session indicator) appears
(3) install the Unity 7 desktop session and log in
(4) verify the indicator still appears

[Regression Potential]

A typo in the modified .desktop file could cause the indicator to not appear in a Ubuntu session such as Unity 7 or Gnome Flashback.

All the default indicators are patched and working again except bluetooth. Needs further investigation.

"indicator-bluetooth" seems to be a mobile-only package, the one we're interested in is "gnome-bluetooth".

i-network requires the indicator-panel-service to implement custom items such as AccessPointItem and ModemInfoItem. Before unity7 or any other DE implements these, i-network is not usable on them.
