I tried both workarounds from http://askubuntu.com/questions/154970 /systray-disappeared
Tweaking CCSM didn't help. Resetting unity did bring the systray back, but predictably it wiped out all my size/behavior customizations, plus it packed all open windows into a single workspace, so it's something to be avoided. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Needless to say, this defeats the main purpose of apps like Skype or Pidgin. Strange thing is, if I switch to another desktop workspace (Ctrl+Alt+Arrows), the systray appears for a split second during the workspace scrolling, then disappears again. I checked several other bugs and neither seemed to be my case. Also, note that Skype, Pidgin and a few others are whitelisted: $ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Skype', 'Pidgin', 'Evolution', 'Vuze', 'Azureus', 'Azureus2'] Is there at least a workaround to get the systray back when this happens?
