Thanks, Mike.

Michael, do you think you can cherry-pick the two commits from upstream
with one of the next nm-applet uploads?

Context: the Arctica Greeter (src:arctica-greeter) that I also maintain
and develop upstream looks so much smarter with nm-applet --indicator
available in Debian.

Is there some way I can test that the indicator works?
I just setup a test VM with MATE and installed mate-indicator-applet and
added the Notification applet to the panel, but that doesn't seem to
have any effect. If I recompile nm-applet with the patches applied and
start nm-applet, it doesn't seem to show up in the panel notifications
applet.

Regards,
Michael

The easiest way is: install arctica-greeter. It launches nm-applet --indicator in background and it should then appear in the indicator area (top right).

The other test approach is:

 * MATE
 * add mate-indicator-applet and add it to the panel
 * install ayatana-indicator-application
 * and -sesion, -power, -notifications, -printers, etc. (if you like)

Similar with XFCE and xfce4-indicator-plugin.

Note that AppIndicator applications only appear with those plugins if ayatana-indicator-application is installed and launched (via XDG) in background on session startup.

Note, that nm-applet defaults to Xembed and needs --indicator as cmdline option to switch over to AppIndicator mode.
