Package: gnome-flashback
Version: 3.36.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

First, thank you for packaging and maintaining gnome-flashback!
It's really helped my older laptop stay useful and pleasant
to use, even as the full GNOME 3 stack is optimised for
higher-end hardware.

Recently (and I'm afraid I don't have an exact date, although
I'm pretty user it was the 3.34 → 3.36 upgrade) gnome-flashback's
standard system indicators (the volume control, Bluetooth,
the battery charging indicator, etc.) have stopped appearing in the
notification area. Other indicators (VLC, Network Manager) appear
just fine, but the system indicators are missing. This is still
true after logging out and back in, and after rebooting.

Full disclosure: I normally use gnome-flashback with the i3
window manager rather than Metacity, according to the instructions in
https://zork.net/~st/jottings/gnome-i3.html - although the only
difference between gnome-flashback's stock `gnome-flashback-metacity.session`
file and mine is that I've swapped `metacity` for
`i3` and removed `gnome-panel`. Nevertheless, the missing system
indicators are still missing if I log into a standard "GNOME Flashback
(Metacity)" session rather than my custom one.
