This is one decision which is really worth debating. Unity has a systray, but only whitelisted for Java, Skype, and Mumble. I. e. we knowingly and willfully regress a lot of applications which rely on having a systray. So far we weren't very successful of arguing in favor of dropping the whitelist. But I want to point out that this is in no way a technical problem, it's purely a design decision.
