Sometimes power-devices menu disappears, but the user menu is still there

[Paul Sladen]

The 'indicator-session' binary provides two indicator menus;

  (1) User menu (top, second from right)
  (2) Power/Devices menu (top-right)

Sometimes the Power/Devices menu disappears but the User menu remains, thus proving that the program has not crashed completely. Using F10 to open the menu bar and the left/right arrow keys to scrub around did not reveal the menu (with a zero-width menu, it would still have shown in this case).

(mpt reckons that he's had this a few times too, so the fact that it happened during the 10 minutes I was away from the keyboard while a dist-upgrade was running may or may not be a concidence).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
