Looking at entry_added in panel-plugin/indicator.c, the indicator button's label is only set when the entry is initially added. Attaching a patch that watches for changes to the text of the entry's label and updates the button's label text.
Another option would be to use the button as a container and pack the image/label into a box instead of using the button's set_image and set_label methods. ** Patch added: "watch_label_changes.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-indicator-plugin/+bug/852017/+attachment/2414989/+files/watch_label_changes.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/852017 Title: xfce4-indicator-plugin does not update output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-indicator-plugin/+bug/852017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
