I'm also seeing the behavior that LGB describes after whitelisting all systray icons. In 12.10, this seems to affect Pidgin, VMware Workstation, and Vuze. In 12.04 it also affected Shutter, but no longer in 12.10. There seems to be some relationship between the icons disappear and workspace switching.
Immediately after logging in, all of the icons work properly. Any incident of the icons disappears seems to follow a workspace switch, although I'm not certain that the very first workspace switch after a login or unity reset results in the icons disappearing. Once this occurs, the icons are still visible when the Dash is brought up or while switching workspaces or viewing all workspaces with Super-S, but are not clickable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064493 Title: Indicator-applet Disappears After Closing a Conversation Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I run pidgin as a start-up application. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, pidgin doesn't seem to sustain its applet-indicator (by the clock). Pidgin is running, but I have no way to access it until someone messages me. After closing that conversation. I see no way to access my buddy-list other than trying to launching it again from the Unity dash. I like pidgin to have its own indicator-icon by the clock. In 12.04, I could find pidgin's indicator-icon by clicking the envelope-icon- indicator by the clock, but in 12.10, I see no way to access my buddy list.
