Description Jiri Koten 2018-02-28 09:23:43 EST

Description of problem:
There is an issue with gnome-shell-extension-top-icons extension for auto-started  applications when the icons appear but are non-responsive, i.e. context menu doesn't work etc. Restarting shell or running another app which uses tray makes it work again. There is probably an issue with initializing the extension.

The issue doesn't appear for apps started after the gnome session starts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.26.2-5.el7
gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-3.26.2-3.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add pidgin to Startup Applications (gnome-tweak tool)
2. Login to gnome classic session
3. Left/Right click on the pidgin tray icon

Actual results:
Nothing happens, the icon is non-responsive

Expected results:
The icon reacts to mouse actions, e.g. shows context menu, buddy list
