Caffeine-indicator works well for me when I activate it manually. Right now the coffee cup is always displayed on the panel. But I have to click it, which makes a 2nd indicator appear, and then select activate from this 2nd indicator's menu. The 2nd indicator then shows the steam indication and all is well.
But I'd like to cut out the manual steps. How can I script something to give me hot, steaming caffeine-indicator at login with no manual intervention?
