Sparkleshare incorrectly identifies fluxbox as Gnome and fails to start

goodevilgenius commented 5 years ago

What happened:

Installed SparkleShare. Ran under Fluxbox from command-line (sparkleshare start).

Instead, the following was printed to the console, and the application stopped:

18:21:30 Environment | SparkleShare 3.28.0
18:21:30 Environment | Git LFS 2.6.1

18:21:30 Environment | Arguments: start
AppIndicator not installed.

The same text was in the logs.

What I expected to happen:

It would start, and SparkleShare would appear in my system tray.

This happens when:

Run under fluxbox

Same problem in Fedora 30, with lot of "appindicator packages" installed.

May be this can be workaround
