Thank you for your bug report, that's a duplicate (though I can't find the number), the topic came often especially when unity started, the unity stands is that app writers should update their software so I'm marking the bug as wontfix, you should have a look for previous discussions on the topic if you are interested

Matching subscriptions: dp-unity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931896 Title: please provide an indicator-others interface Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: While Unity is elegant, it is at times coming in ways of what I want to do as a user. I have been a KDE user and very recently (12.04 aplha1) migrated to Unity. All my passwords are stored in kwallet. I tried to open my wallet application but nothing showed up. Probably because kwallet, on start-up, would simply run minimized in the systray. But Unity's default whitelist is very trimmed. So, please provide an indicator-others thing in Unity, where every application not in the whitelist falls. This way we can access and use our other apps also. And also it does not clutter the Unity indicator area. PS: You have done great work with appmenu. It makes both KDE and GTK apps look similar. Please do something similar for Unity indicators. PPS: This is a wishlist bug. I couldn't find a way in ubunut-bug to file a wishlist bug.
