Comment 5 for bug 858565

Ok. I don't know where this bug's source really is. Maybe it's this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libappindicator/+bug/621075 or maybe it's https://bugs.launchpad.net/screenlets/+bug/522152. Or maybe it's this https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/812933, in which case it's been fixed in a newer version of libappindicator (though I'm not sure if it's fixed in the Python bindings).

Anyway, using a plain Gtk.StatusIcon works fine!
