[Xu Zhen]

ibus version : 1.4.0-3ubuntu3

If appindicator is not installed, ibus will not show icon in panel.

$ ibus-daemon -v

this bug is introduced by 05_appindicator.patch. I added 'self.__appindicator = None' to it, then everything works well

Thank you for your work, could you attach a diff of the changes to the bug? The patch seems to change some icon names over the current version, is that wanted?

Here is the diff file for 05_appindicator.patch
I tested with ibus_1.4.1-7ubuntu1 and ibus_1.4.2-0ubuntu1, both worked
