More information.

The initial install of Xubuntu 11.04b2 places 3 icons in the indicator-plugin: a volume control, network manager and gwibber. http://img806.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0416201109464.png

Today I noticed that in the center space of the indicator-plugin (once occupied by the gwibber icon, which was uninstalled, btw) appeared to be a <place holder>. http://img849.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0416201109502.png/

Notice, this was different from the image in the original bug filing (in which gwibber was also uninstalled). http://img832.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0412201106255.png/

Gwibber? No, it shouldn't be installed. I think it's only indicator-messages, but I can be wrong.

Could you provide the list of installed indicators (e.g. with "ls -l /usr/lib/indicators/5"), and your .xsession-errors (because indicators log in there)? Thanks.

[Dave Cantrell (elderdryas)]

You are correct, it was not the gwibber icon itself.

When I re-installed gwibber, a (message?) icon appeared in the indicator. http://img806.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0416201109464.png When I click on the icon in the indicator-plugin, it shows http://img806.imageshack.us/i/screenshot0416201109464.png When I click on broadcast, it brings up Broadcast Accounts, which brings up Social Broadcast Messages (Gwibber?)

Sorry if I was imprecise.

This is with gwibber installed:
drc@drc-laptop:/usr/lib/indicators/5$ ls -l
total 116

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22116 2011-04-07 14:54 libmessaging.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67636 2011-04-17 08:55 libsoundmenu.so

If this is not what you were looking for, let me know....

Can someone check if that is fixed in latest git commit from xfce.org

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

@Mark__T: Can you please explain to an ordinary user how to check using git commit? We really step by step instructions to accomplish this. Most bug reporters are not developers, and do not really know what git is or how to get to it, even. Thanks.
