Bug Description

This is about this nm-applet patch:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/network-manager-applet/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/Have-the-appindicator-enabled-by-default.patch

In the referenced patch you remove the --indicator option and add --no-indicator.

This breaks applications launching nm-applet with --indicator option set. I am esp. interested in arctica-greeter, that needs to launch nm-applet with --indicator option on all non-Ubuntu platforms (all that don' have your patch).

Thus, my request is: please keep --indicator and make it a no-op option in Ubuntu.

Thanks!
Mike

As I side note... I will submit various Ubuntu patches for nm-applet upstream in the next couple of days. Also, I submitted an upstream patch, that enables building nm-applet against Ayatana AppIndicator.
