Created attachment 1011571 [details] Xfce power manager is not shown in panel, although it's known to notification area Description of problem: xfce4-power-manager is not shown in notification area. How reproducible: always (Tested on 3 Systems) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 21 Xfce spin. Preferable on a system containing a battery 2. Create a user account 3. Reboot after installation has finished 4. Login using the created user account 5. Accept default panel settings 6. optional: install all available updates, reboot and login again Actual results: Xfce power manager is not shown in notification area Expected results: Xfce power manager is shown in notification area Additional info: * Open properties of notification area to verify that Xfce power manager is Known and there for should be shown (see attached screenshot). * Step 6 doesn't change the described behaviour, however it affects the interaction of nm-applet and notification area. Therefore it might be misleading. * This only affects Fedora 21, Fedora 20 is working fine. * Behaviour was observed after using fedup to upgrade from Fedora 20 to 21 (1 VM, 1 Laptop) and after a fresh install of Fedora 21 Xfce spin (VM using Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-21-5.iso)

It shows up and seems to be functional. BTW: notifications are functional, it's just the icon that's not showing up.
(In reply to Woi from comment #2) > It shows up and seems to be functional. > BTW: notifications are functional, it's just the icon that's not showing up. OK, that sounds good. This means it's not a bug but the plugin is just not added to the panel by default.
Hey Mukundan, You're right the tray icon was removed upstream with release 1.3.0 (Release notes: [1]). However it was reintroduced in 1.4.4. Since a tray icon fixes the issue with "battery icon not added to panel by default" (See your last comment and [2]) I opened bug 1211041 for updating to 1.4.4.
