The attached script will fallback correctly to the old gtk_status_icon and will show the "battery-good" indicator icon on the system tray. Now exit from the script (with ^C). In your current directory create a subdir named "battery-good". Do not change directory and relaunch the script. The fallback mechanism will be unable to find the icon, and now the indicator will not be shown. The problem could be in app-indicator.c, near line 1641 if (g_file_test(icon_name, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) { gtk_status_icon_set_from_file(icon, icon_name); } This code will find the subdir "battery-good" you created, and it will try to load it as a icon. But if it fails, as it does, it will never load an icon for your indicator. Tested on xubuntu 14.04.1 64bit without indicator panel element and with indicator application removed from autostart. Tested also on Fedora 20 64bit with XFCE.
