@flexiondotorg: looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720363, but in Debian.

[cepreu2github]

Yes. Same symptoms.

I found out that mate-settings-daemon --replace brings it back. Wonder if we have some race condition on session start...

So it turned out to be a packaging issue in Debian and Ubuntu.
The indicator works fine if I build m-s-d from either master or 1.18 branch, but doesn't work in version 1.18.1-2 in Debian Testing (or Unstable) and Ubuntu MATE 17.10.

Please have a look at this. Version 1.18.1-2 contains a patch from cf0b976, but it's not enough. To fix this, you need to do one of the following:

• add a new patch from 603e331
• replace the existing patch with 9eb0130 (which is cf0b976 + 603e331 squashed into one)

I've uploaded the debdiff with the second solution to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720363.
Closing this report, as it's not an upstream issue.

I am currently preparing an upload to Debian that fixes this issue in Debian (and Ubuntu b-series). @flexiondotorg: Please make this upload appear in Ubuntu a-series, if possible.
