Public bug reported: 1) do this of course: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" I can't understand why this is not a default value. It allows to be visible all icons in Unity 2D system tray (in Unity 3D too of course).
2) remove packages: indicator-messages indicator-status-provider-pidgin I don't want pidgin to be in ugly messages indicator. 3) default themes selected for all in pidgin, even smiles are disabled. 4) Gnome icon theme: Unity-icon-theme GTK+ theme: Ambiance Windows theme: Ambiance 5) Other applications icons showed good everywhere (desktop, folders, tray, menu). 6) In Unity 3D pidgin tray icon was invisible at first start but replaced to normal after 400ms. 7) Invisible icon of Pidgin is clickable and has context menu. 8) Maybe this helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/185612/pidgin-icon-not-showing-up-in-system-tray ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: pidgin 1:2.10.3-0ubuntu1.1 Uname: Linux 3.5.7-zen-proxym-3 i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu14 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Oct 27 00:57:53 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Studio 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101008) SourcePackage: pidgin UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-10-23 (3 days ago) ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 icon incorrect invisible pidgin precise running-unity tray unity-2d ** Description changed: 1) do this of course: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" + I can't understand why this is not a default value.
