Bug 361884

It is version 4.13.3 (not offered as an option in the bug reporter).
I am running Xubuntu 14.04
On starting akregator, the panel icon shows up in the the Indicator area as a red circle with a line through it.
Link to image: <a href="http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/akregator-icon.php" target="_blank" title="akregator icon in the Indicator area">akregator icon error</a>
If I start akregator from the command line using the command "dbus-launch akregator" then the icon displays properly: <a href="http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/akregator-icon-ok.php" target="_blank" title="akregator icon displaying OK in the notification area"><img src="http://en.zimagez.com/avatar/akregator-icon-ok.png" alt="akregator icon displaying OK in the notification area" /></a>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch akregator


Actual Results:  
Incorrect icon in the indicator area.

Expected Results:  
Icon of unread posts in the notification area.

If I run akregator from the command line I get loads of messages starting with:
