Description

There is no OpenPGP Applet on the desktop in Jessie.

Executing gpgApplet from the command line produces the following trace:

Indeed it now starts, but it’s unusable (doesn’t react to mouse clicks) since it hijacks the notification area. We should either turn it into a GNOME Shell extension, or into a standalone application (Feature #7433).

Hi,

On my gnome-shell desktop (debian Sid), I work around this by using the “TopIcons” extension.
It is needed anyway for a lot of apps that use tray icons.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/

Turning the applet into a full application + dbus + extension would be better, but this is a lot of work and will probably take some time.

Thanks! That’s what we’ve done in our feature/jessie branch.

I’ll file a dedicated ticket about that.
