The patch applied to liferea (port-to-messaging-menu.patch) breaks liferea on xubuntu. It prevents the system tray icon from appearing, thereby making liferea inaccessible when minimized or started in a minimized state (as is the case for most people who let it auto-start at login time).
Here is the changelog entry corresponding to the offending patch: > liferea (1.8.10-0ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low > > * Port to messaging-menu.
