deja-dup does not display progress bar in unity launcher icon

[JB5]

Whilst deja-dup is backing up, a progress bar used to be displayed in the unity launcher over the deja-dup icon.
This no longer happens for me.

Ubuntu precise 12.04 Beta 2

unity --version
unity 5.8.0

deja-dup --version
deja-dup 22.0

Progress bar appears as expected when firefox is downloading something, and during software updates though the update-manager.

After some more digging around.

In /usr/share/applications/
I have three deja-dup desktop files. !?!
One of which will display the progress bar whilst backing up if locked to the launcher.
The other two will load up the deja-dup preferences window if clicked and if backup is run from the preference window DO NOT display the progress bar.

From my dash, one of the non-progress bar desktop files is found, if this is locked to the launcher, no progress bar is displayed during backup.

Not sure if this is universal or something peculiar to my system.

OK, I've edited the deja-dup desktop file to include a quicklist to allow access to the preferences, and ALSO displays the progress bar whilst running.
[code]
mkdir ~/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/deja-dup.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
cd ~/.local/share/applications/
gedit deja-dup.desktop
[/code]
Add the following to the bottom of the file & save. NB save it as deja-dup.desktop, DO NOT change the name or the progress bar will not be painted onto the icon
[code]
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Preferences;

[Preferences Shortcut Group]
Name=Backup-Preferences
Comment==Change your backup settings
Exec=deja-dup-preferences
TargetEnvironment=Unity
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;Archiving;Utility;Settings;X-GNOME-SystemSettings;
NotShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
[/code]
Lock this file to the launcher, i.e. drag the file from a nautilus instance onto the launcher bar.
This seems to work, it is just a pity that the deja-dup pulled up by the dash doesn't also have the progress bar.

This seems to work to me now. Closing
