I confirm that Guiodic solution (post #116) works and it's easy to apply. @UbuntuTeam: unless there is some Unity related concern requiring compiz 0.9.4, PLEASE consider reverting to compiz 0.8.6 in natty (as per Guiodic's workaround) as solution to this crippling bug which seems not so easy to

@Guiodic I do not know if downgrading python just to make the 0.8.6 config manager for compiz work in natty is worth the trouble. with so many python dependencies maybe it is less complicated to switch back to maverick altogether. also, I can't see how this png vs xpm icon thing relates to compi

this bug is duplicate of this and this, that one should be duplicate of that... No I don't agree... Yes it should... and so forth and so on. I guess all bugs are duplicates of bug 666... one month and 3 days after the initial report of this show stopper still looking for duplicates, great! -- Yo

if this is not a serious bug I don't know what it is! still being unassigned is simply a disgrace... seriously how can someone use this thing if most Qt tray icons are not showing? because of this (not to mention other hicks of lesser importance e.g. the gnome battery indicator which is not one,
