Description of problem: I updated my Gnome to v3.12 by using rhughes COPR and since then the firewalld-applet icon is missing in the lower right notification area. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa firewall\* firewall-applet-0.3.9.3-1.fc20.noarch firewalld-0.3.9.3-1.fc20.noarch firewall-config-0.3.9.3-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to Gnome 3.12 2. Reboot 3. Log into Gnome Actual results: The firewall-applet is present in the notification area but without an icon Expected results: The icon of the firewall-applet should be displayed in the notification area of the gnome-shell Additional info: Other applets like cryptkeeper, dropbox or libreoffice still have an icon.
Exactly the same issue here. Fedora 20 running on Dell 1545 64-bit. Using Gnome 3.12 via rhughes COPR. Applet icon disappears from notification tray, but clicking in the area where the icon should be displays the applet menu.
Created attachment 956283 [details] screenshot of missing firewall icon This is a problem with Fedora 21 Beta with Gnome 3.14 too. gnome-shell-3.14.1.5-1.fc21.x86_64 firewalld-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch firewall-applet-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch The Gnome message tray shows a blank spot for the firewall-applet icon. Click on the blank spot and info about the firewall appears, or right-click and the menu appears to edit firewall settings.
I can actually confirm this on Debian with gnome-shell 3.14. Apparently forcing the "check_gnome3()" function to return True fix the problem.
I can confirm Comment 3 does get the icon back (in the firewall-applet python script). However I expect that the real problem is in the tests that precede the final return.
IIRC (I didn't rechecked recently), the issue with the check is that it expect that gnome-shell is a direct parent process of the applet one. This is not true (anymore?) as the applet process is started by gnome-session
