Application indicator text not updated with set_label() function

[artjermyn]

When using python, the set_label() function will not update the indicator text. You can run the following script and it will not update the indicator text to test 2, but when retrieving the indicator text, it will be test2.

import gtk
import appindicator

class testApp():
 def __init__(self):
  self.ind = appindicator.Indicator('test', 'info', appindicator.CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS)
  self.ind.set_status (appindicator.STATUS_ACTIVE)
  self.ind.set_label('test')

         menu = gtk.Menu()
  self.ind.set_menu(menu)

         item = gtk.MenuItem('change')
         item.connect('activate', self.on_change_clicked)
         item.show()
         menu.append(item)

         item = gtk.MenuItem('quit')
         item.connect('activate', self.on_quit_clicked)
         item.show()
         menu.append(item)

 def on_change_clicked(self, widget):
  self.ind.set_label('test 2')
  print self.ind.get_label()

 def on_quit_clicked(self, widget):
  gtk.main_quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    t = testApp()
    gtk.main()
