Hello Damir, which version of gnome-extra/indicator-applet do you use? Please add this to the subject. Michael
Please test on a new created user account and, if still valid, attach ~/.xsession-errors file just after reproducing the problem. Feel free to reopen after providing that information. Thanks
Created attachment 237509 [details] .xsession-errors [ebuild R ] dev-libs/libindicator-0.3.6 0 kB [ebuild R ] gnome-extra/indicator-applet-0.3.6 USE="nls" 0 kB As you should see form the .xsession-errors file, nothing happened after adding the Indicator Applet to the panel for my newly created user. Thanks.

(In reply to comment #4) > Reopening > I think the problem is there are no indicators to show. I don't think there is a bug here. If I take a look at the indicator applet package that portage downloaded to /usr/portage/distfiles, looking through the package and the source, it doesn't look like there's anything more than a framework. I believe indicator-applet needs some indicators installed before any will be available. I also found an "ubuntu-overlay" which further suggests that nothing is wrong with the indicator applet, it's just missing some guts. I suggest closing this and looking to bring packages similar to what is in the ubuntu-overlay into portage. http://code.google.com/p/ubuntu-overlay/source/browse/#svn/trunk/gnome-extra
indeed, the applet itself is empty if no indicator is installed. Thanks for reporting.
I track the source code in launchpad, many package in ubuntu have use_application_indicator.patch. If we want make indicator-applet work, we must patch the whole system
