Comment 23 for bug 1253693

What I don't understand is why the problem isn't reported by the OS. All of these indicator applications are launched and running, and none of them notice that indicator-applet-appmenu isn't running! When I go to the "Panel" setting in unity-tweak-tool, how come I don't see an error message there either? Why is there nothing in dmesg? When I manually launch an indicator app from the command line, it doesn't report any errors either. How is possible that all of these programs interact with the panel, but none of them notice that it's not there?!?!?!!?
