I had this problem using Gnome panel and found the following solution:

Gnome has two types of indicator applets: (See Screenshot)

 * Indicator Applet Complete
 * Notification Area

The first one is pre-installed on a fresh system and shows the behaviour 
described in this bug.
The second one works as expected by me.
Unfortunately there can be only one notification applet at one time being 
functional (if more than one is installed, only one of them will get the icons 
from the application, the other one remains empty and non-functional).

For me the solution was: 
 * Add "Notification Area" and remove "Indicator Applet Complete".

And I needed more then 2 years for finding that out... ;-)

I think that the gnome panel needs to be enhanced to be more intuitive and user 
friendly:
 * Try out applets before actually adding them to the panel.
 * If more than one notification applet is intall, both should work as expected 
(a user then can compare the usability and then chose one) and not that one 
hinders the other one from working.
 * There should be an icon in the "System settings" dialog, helping to 
configure the panel.
 * If the panel has been deleted by accident: There needs to be an easy way to 
restore it.
