I can't see an icon for Pidgin in the tray when the app is running like I can with Windows. I'm using Pidgin as I wanted one IM client for all OSes (OSX, Win7, Ubuntu). How can I know if there is a new message without an icon? I have to keep checking the app!

There is a dconf key that stores the whitelist for Unity’s systray (the thing that shows the ugly green skype icon but doesn’t show your dropbox icon). To see the current value type: gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist You should get something like: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Skype'] Now if you, like me, use the Skype plugin for Pidgin you don’t need Skype’s non-mono icon disrupting your dekstop, and if you would like to see what Dropbox is doing (at least I don’t see any indicator support for now…) you can change this key with this command: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Dropbox']" And voila no Skype icon but the dropbox icon is sitting in your tray after your the next login.” Source - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/ | |||
