No Icon in panel when job is running

[Seanbeansea]

Kubuntu 16.04
deja-dup 34.2-0ubuntu1
duplicity 0.7.06-2ubuntu2

When Deja Dup is starting the icons in the panel are moved and I can see a gap but no deja dup icon.
To show this icon when the job is running is very helpful. I know that early version had this feature.

This issue was reported against many other DEs (Cinnamon, MATE, i3wm..).

I would recommend to check XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, rather than relying on DBUS interfaces which may or many not be there or may be started after deja-dup itself.

Values for this key are KDE, MATE, X-Cinnamon, Cinnamon. If the goal simply is to show no systray in Shell, just check for the GNOME value and show it everywhere else.

Hope it helps.

I've tested in xfce4, and I can see why this bug maybe developed.

We've always set an icon. But for a while now, we've set the symbolic version of our icon (a standard icon alternative that is a one-color outline of an icon, with an adjustable color). It looks like many panels don't properly set the symbolic color to use on the icon (i.e. set a white icon for a dark panel or a dark icon for a white panel). *Possibly* because they can't and the GtkPlug infrastructure doesn't give them that option after all.

Anyway. I've reverted back to the full color icon (which is quite dark, but not entirely so). Smart panel implementations can still try and find the symbolic version themselves and use that in preference if they like.
