Bug Description
Note: For testing hplip-gui must be installed and at least one HP printer must be set up with HPLIP on the system.
I am on a completely updated Oneiric system with the standard Unity desktop. The system is grown out of Natty by daily updates during the Oneiric development cycle.
While investigating the problem of bug 857929 (which I succeeded to fix for the original reporter) I found out that my situation is even worse:
1. The hp-systray icon (an HP logo) does not show in the notification area after login, though hp-systray is running (see with "ps aux" or see the notifications popping up when printing).
2. To get the logo visible one has to either start "hp-toolbox" or to kill all hp-systray processes (there are usually three) and start it again from the command line.
3. Clicking on the icon does not show the menu. Instead a little gray rectangle appears right under the logo, most probably an empty menu. Neither the HPLIP patch from comment #6 of bug 857929 changes this situation nor adding "hp-systray=1" or "python=1" to /etc/xdg/

The empty menu bug should be fixed in revision 84 of sni-qt, which should soon be available from ppa:agateau/sni-qt. Can you confirm it?
