Privilige Escalation icon corrupt (when built with appindicator support).

[Rahtgaz]

Arch Linux
Package: mate-polkit 1.18.1-1 (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mate-polkit/)

With 1.18 an old problem has resurfaced (that emerged initially on 1.16 and was fixed on 1.17, if memory serves me right): The Privilege Escalation icon on the notification area of the panel is showing again corrupt.

According to the PKGBUILD file, the package is built from the sources available at http://pub.mate-desktop.org/sources/mate-polkit/1.18/mate-polkit-1.18.1.tar.xz and without any modifications.

Thank you to lukefromdc for helping with this bug report.

If icon corrupt means the icon remains in the panel after the application is closed and right-click -> Drop all elevated privileges has no effect on it (which is "normal" since the app(s) running with elevated privileges is/are closed already). We have the same problem on Solus (which currently uses mate-polkit-1.18.2)
