It's probably worth noting that at least Chrome seems to have been fixed
to work with the system default of "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity:Unity7".
That is, the original complaint of not being able to see Chrome/Hangouts
icons in the notification tray is not an issue (don't know about Skype).
However,
As a temporary fix, one could also edit /usr/bin/skypeforlinux and add
"XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity" line.
But yeah, the edits to that script will be wiped out with package update or
reinstall, since it is part of package space.

Missing Skype & Google Hangouts tray icon in
This is a pretty annoying bug, but I'm using another fix that's a lot

The problem seems to be that in 17.04, the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable
changed from "Unity" to "Unity:Unity7" for some reason. I see no point
in this change now, since both Unity 7 and Unity 8 are now dead, so
maybe the simplest solution would be to revert this for the remaining
