I booted into Ubuntu Unity and was shocked to discover my app no longer displays in the system tray. After looking around, I found this,

------------
Unity includes the system tray only for a few specific applications via a "white list"...

This is, unfortunately, Canonical's way of trying to dictate how everyone else uses their system: they have decided that the system tray is incompatible with their user interface philosophy, and they want everyone to re-write their apps to use their notification system.

WTF?
