Seems like fallback icons for any application using libappindicator when
the indicator widgets are not loaded (and indicator-application-service
is not running) show the standard no-icon-available icon fallback for
their applet representation in the notification area.
Judging from my testing, this is because while libappindicator expects
to use the "-panel" suffix as fallback for icons appearing in the
notification area, most of the applications patched to support
indicators do not provide such an icon (and it's also not provided by
any theme).
The latest testing I've done was made with the GNOME icon set (turning
up icons from the hicolor set AFAICT), but this also affects ubuntu-mono
and Humanity; see the attached screenshot.
I think expecting the -panel suffix fallback for icons should be
removed, and any applications actually using and expecting this to work
should be fixed, to either drop the use of that suffix and ship icons
without it in their name, or drop the duplicated icons with a "-panel"
suffix. An especially critical case of this is when applications or
themes ship both the -panel suffixed version of the icon and the version
without in two separate identical files rather than using symlinks.
Applications confirmed to be affected:
- nm-applet
- gnome-bluetooth
- ibus-daemon
- gtg
- tomboy
