I do think the issue is that the xfce4 panel is in gtk2, and the gtk2 sound indicator was written specifically to support xfce. see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1048217
Given what's in 1048217, I think comment #27 needs to be adjusted to work for lubuntu as well, and then it can be a proper fix. And it should also probably check against pidof xfce4-panel, since that is the relevant program, right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.
