10.04appletgnomeubuntu-one
I am running 10.04 and I am unable to get a tray applet to appear for Ubuntu One. I am sure there was an applet in 9.04 (Jaunty) and 9.10 (Karmic).
I have the package ubuntuone-client-gnome installed which Synaptic tells me
"This package contains the tray applet and Nautilus extension, providing integration with the GNOME desktop."
The applet is not on the "Add to panel…" list and there doesn't appear to be anything in the menus.
So how do I make the applet appear?
In a bug report on this issue one commenter says that a workaround for another bug fixed the clock freezing problem for him. The workaround delays the startup of gnome-panel for three seconds. (Strange, eh?)
Here is the workaround:
Create a script called delayed-gnome-panel.sh in your home directory and mark it as executable.
Edit the script to look like this:
#! /bin/bash
sleep 3 && gnome-panel &
exit
Then edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-panel.desktop so that exec=bash /home/<user>/delayed-gnome-panel.sh.
There's no configuration value for this, it's hard-coded in at the moment, but it's easy enough to change:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js
Find the line that reads:
this._dateMenu = new DateMenu.DateMenuButton({ showEvents: true });
And simply change true to false
Then restart GNOME Shell by pressing Alt-F2 and entering r

As far as I know, the Ubuntu One applet has been integrated into the 'me menu'. At the bottom of the me menu you should see something like:
Click on 'Ubuntu One...' to edit Ubuntu One preferences. Other actions are done in nautilus. You can right click on a file/folder (in your home folder) and click 'Synchronise on Ubuntu One' for example.
