I'm missing both the Me Menu and the Log Out/Shutdown/Restart, etc applet from my panel and I can't find them in the 'Add to Panel' list. The screenshot below shows the current state of my panel. How can I get them both back?
The Me Menu on the top panel does not let me type a status to post to Gwibber or Pidgin. It simply is a grayed-out box that says "Post message..." I cannot type into it. Also, the status selector only works (not grayed out) when Pidgin is logged in; I cannot go from offline to available.
I already tried re-installing indicator-session, indicator-applet-session, indicator-me, gwibber, and gwibber-service, and removing and re-adding the applet.
Edit: Here's the console output when running Gwibber. It throws some errors, but none seem to be relevant.
** (gwibber:7611): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (gwibber:7611): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (gwibber:7611): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags' /usr/bin/gwibber:73: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed gtk.main()
When I look at them, their functionality seems to overlap so much that they could almost be merged:
- The MA is used to open Gwibber, but the MM is used to set the accounts and broadcast messages.
- The MA is used to open Empathy, but the MM is used to set the accounts and set a status (available, busy...).
All these could well be in different sections, either in the MA or the MM:
- Chat (set status, accounts).
- Mail (send mail, contacts).
- Broadcast (send message, accounts).
- Ubuntu One.
- About me.
So, why the decision to split them in two different indicators, thus taking extra space in the panel?
