You can check your setting with: $ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist The default values are: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier'] In my case this had been changed to "['all']" If you have it installed, you can also use dconf-editor to check/set the value.
