Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.96 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Install Chrome on elementary OS (or other Linux distro running Pantheon desktop environment) 2. Open Chrome What is the expected behavior? Chrome app indicator shows up in wingpanel. What went wrong? App indicator is not available. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 58.0.3029.96 Channel: stable OS Version: elementary OS Loki Flash Version: If you add "env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity" to the Exec statement in your google-chrome.desktop file the app indicator shows up, and works, as expected with zero anomalies. The only downside is this tweak needs to be applied to the .desktop file in question every time Chrome updates. Please add in permanent check and fix to Chrome to secure my sanity. Thanks in advance. Cookies are in the mail. Love, Rocco

Looks as if all I need to do is edit the xdg_util.cc to properly detect Pantheon and have it return as "Unity" instead (since Pantheon uses Unity's indicator stuff underneath in the current release.) This may need to be reworked when 18.04 lands and Gnome is the new default layer under Pantheon to be a little more explicit. But I feel that can be held off until we see what exactly we're dealing with at that time.

I'm moving off of Elementary OS to OpenSUSE which doesn't have Pantheon. So, I'm not going to move forward with submitting this patch myself to get merged as I won't be running the OS past today. Attached to this comment however is a minimal functioning patch to get the App Indicator working. If someone wants to apply it and request the merge then go for it. I'm simply not sure if more detailed work should be involved to more officially support it beyond this one trick for this one bug case.
