** Summary changed:

- All QT apps are missing their tray icons in Natty/Unity
+ Many apps are missing their tray icons in Natty/Unity

** Description changed:

- All QT apps (at least those I've tried - many!) are missing their tray
- icons. This makes many apps unusable if they start minimized to tray by
- default. Is there at least a temporary workaround for this? Like sending
- a signal/message to a process/window to force it to foreground?
+ The tray icons for many apps (especially QT apps) are missing!
+ 
+ Important apps that become unusable after being minimized to tray - due
+ to having no tray icon:
+ 
+ * Pidgin
+ * KeePass
+ * JungleDisk
+ 
+ UPDATE:
+ 
+ I was able to fix it by setting the systray-whitelist to ['all'] as
+ described here:
+ 
+ http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
+ 
+ I'm not setting this as invalid, as I'd like to have an answer from a
+ developer. Is this acceptable? How can this be considered acceptable if
+ it renders many popular applications unusable? It seems the user has to
+ go through an arcane interface just to make some very popular
+ applications like Pidgin usable?
