GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700168
Online Accounts status wrong after locking the screen.
Last modified: 2014-06-12 12:11:35 UTC
If the desktop is locked while the accounts are online when getting back to the desktop the top right status icon (the one next to the user name) changes to offline (gray with an X ) even if I'm still connected. This is on archlinux gnome 3.8.1
After restarting the shell the icon goes back to online, still the issue remains after locking the screen.
Apparently the issue presents itself only when there are extensions enabled, so far I've found three that triggers this: Weather, Caffeine and Media player indicator.
The bug is still present in 3.8.2 . athough it happens after a couple of lock/unlock.
I have the very same problem, but with all extensions disabled.
This would have been a gnome-shell or telepathy bug in the first place because gnome-online-accounts does not have anything to do with showing the status. I am going to close this as OBSOLETE because this particular area of gnome-shell was redesigned in 3.10.x and the user status is no longer a part of it.
