Description

Video attached. This breaks “the Tails desktop is ready” and in turn “Tails seems to have booted normally”. Of course we cannot mark this step as fragile. How about we try waiting for another systray icon, that might be less buggy, e.g. the OpenPGP applet one? (We could also wait for the accessibility icon, but since it’s part of GNOME Shell, I guess that it may appear a bit before the ones we stuff in there with topIcons, so to be on the safe side we should IMO wait for an icon managed by topIcons.)

This has the potential to break basically any test, so priority >> normal.

For the record, in Tails/Stretch I’ve seen this bug manifest like this: gpgApplet’s icon is there and working, Florence’s icon is invisible, but also working (e.g. clicking on the empty area where the icon should be opens Florence).

I will assume that commit:ed8ace45250efcb7f76f82eaef0c518e4ca36b31 (Bug #8312) fixes that.
