the insync tray icon doesn’t show anymore on my ubuntu 16.10 (gnome) setup (after a week of flawless operation, don’t know what caused it to stop showing). When i run sudo insync start instead of insync start, the systray icon appears, however. I tried all other workarounds already mentioned on the forum to no avail. Starting with --no-daemon, i get a seemingly unrelated error about /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so not being loaded because of a missing symbol (if it was related, running insync using sudo would not make a difference)
is there anything else i can try except purging / reinstalling / removing config ?
i tried all workarounds of that thread, see below. as already told, running insync as root using sudo makes the icon appear, so i guess it has something to do with my user. Is there no debugging mode i can enable, or a way to force show the main window from the commandline ?
greetings,
Frank

While fiddling around suddenly the icon appeared again, i have no clue why it disappeared neither why suddenly it decided to come back (i first tried moving .config/Insync to no avail, then i put it back, and now the icon is back)
i used a standard ubuntu install and then i think i installed gnome thru apt-get. probably ubuntu ships some gnome shell extensions, but i did no customizing at all…
