I see the same problem. I'm running 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1. If I adjust my layout such that the smaller screen is at the top edge, rather than the bottom, then I see the icons fine.
Annoyingly the system tray is also always on the left screen, even though I set my centre monitor to be my primary (xrandr --output DisplayPort-2 --primary). The unity launcher DTRT, but the system tray does not. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity Status: Fix Committed => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778256 Title: Notification area ("system tray") missing when using dual monitors of different sizes, with their bottoms aligned To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/778256/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
