Public bug reported:
I'm using Unity-2D since some days. However I have a serious problem
which is a show-stopper for me. I use non-ubuntu applications a lot,
which needs systray icons. However they are not supported to well,
ubuntu suggests "appindicators", however I can't do anything with
softwares not using it. I've google'd a lot about the problem, it seems
there is some common solution for this by putting even "all" on
whitelist, but it seems it's for Unity-3D ;-(
To be even more problematic: I use avant window navigator, so I thought,
I will put some systray support there then, not a major problem that I
will see my systray icons there and not on the panel itself. However now
the odd part: awn reports that systray is already "running" (I guess by
the Unity panel) so it refuses to provide one for me.
That's really annoying: I have no systray icons with the Unity-2D panel
itself, but if I try to get a systray area with other application, it
complains that I already have it.
If Unity-2D cannot be fixed to have working systray icons, at least
please make it possible to completely disable systray support of Unity-
2D (which is unusable anyway, so no point to have it there, unless it's
fixed), so people can use systray area provided by other application.
