bug disappearance of indicators:

[Christian MATHIEU]

bug disappearance of indicators:

1) opening of the unity session without problem
2) when starting any application, the Indicateurs disappear and the CPU usage goes to 100%
3) if I kill "hud-services", respawn indicators and CPU usage returns to normal

the problem is systematic at each session on my 3 PC's with ubuntu 12.04

Informations:
 - lsb_release -rd:
    Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
    Release: 12.04
 - *** global-menu disabled ***

(I am French, text by google-translate ...)

two useful information:

   1) I think the problem did not exist before March 13, 2012
   2) If I reactivate the global-menu, the problem disappears

Hello

I think I found the problem:

to disable global menu, (I hate global-menu!) I removed those packages:
  - appmenu-gtk
  - appmenu-gtk3
  - appmenu-qt

It worked very well before March 13, 2012,
the bug described here appeared since March 13, 2012.

If I reinstall these three packages, I do not have this bug, but I have the global-menu!

To disable global menu (which I hate!), I used the following procedure:

   echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY = 0" | sudo tee / etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntumenuproxy

it works fine, except for VLC !

duplicate bug 955816:

it's not quite the same problem:
  for me, "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY = 0" works, except for VLC
