Ok, I've tested it myself in the same "other" Xfce session. monsta@xubuntu:~$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP XFCE monsta@xubuntu:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION xfce
So it's clear that the condition in indicator-application source code should be changed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359249 Title: Launching PAVUControl works from Xubuntu, but not from Xfce Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Xubuntu 14.04 when clicking the sound indicator and choosing "Sound Settings" Pavucontrol is launched, but it does not get launched in the same scenario when the session "Xfce" is launched instead, with the same settings. In fact I installed the xfce4 package on top of Xubuntu's and launched it. Both xsession files list the same thing to start it, so is indicator only choosing to work on whitelisted sessions?
