Pidgin uses indicator-application which is currently broken in 14.04
beause of https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1185565
and I have a branch which fixes the problem (which affects other
indicators too) at
https://code.launchpad.net/~a-j-buxton/libindicator/remove-timeout/+merge/198070.

This is not panel specific and affects us at Xubuntu too. Basically
the indicators all have a race condition now, where they will exit if
unused for longer than 500 msec, and upstart has no way of restarting
them if this happens.
