The indicator created for vlc won't hide/unhide directly from a left click on icon, additionally in 12.04 most other controls don't work

[Doug McMahon]

A l. click does nothing, to hide or unhide one must do from the drop down
Even then it always says " Hide VLC media player in the taskbar" whether hidden or not

In 12.04 the next, previous & stop are now non-functional

The systray icon does still work correctly in both area's & is the better choice atm.

Atm the systray icon for vlc, while working better than sni-qt, can invoke this crash
If at some point sni-qt could work more as expected that would be great - no big deal though

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

It seems like sni-qt does not pick up on QSystemTrayIcon::setContextMenu, nor any changes done to the context menu (setText/setEnabled etc).

[Pär Bohrarper (par-bohrarper)]

Toggling visibility causes the menu changes to be picked up..

This has gone from bad to worse in 12.04
