What package do I need to install in lubuntu to get the appindicator in the panel? I did it once, so I know it can be done, but I have been sitting here with synaptic trying to figure it out for hours now :(

I would appreciate some help.

I want to know exactly what packages need to be installed to get this:

I did it once in lubuntu, so I know it can be done. I have been trying for days to do it again though, and can't seem to.

The lxpanel has "indicator applets". It just says "No Indicators" when I add it to the panel and whatever I did last time turned it into what I want.

GNOME & Xfce both have it..

Nevermind. I figured it out. I would post how but I'm not entirely sure still. What I have learned is that it is not a package but a combination of them.

If I install everything else I use first - Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Gwibber, and many others... And THEN install Indicator-messages-gtk2, it works..
