Public bug reported:
When installing the application Bomgar, it by default it has a system
tray icon in literally every linux distro imaginable, but not in Ubuntu
14.04 because there's no 'indicator' for it and no way to edit it via
dconf-editor.
In 12.04 we could use dconf-editor to determine what icons appeared in
the system tray, we can not with 14.04. Despite installing xchat-
indicator and enabling 'minimize to system tray', all it does is create
a launch button under the 'Messages' icon, it doesn't actually minimize
to the system tray. So if you minimize your XChat, it's lost and gone.
The system for managing the system tray in 12.04 wasn't great, it was
workable, but in 14.04 it's absolutely absurd. There's thousands of
applications with system tray icons that have no 'indicator'. Many
applications minimize to system tray and without that icon the user is
just out of luck as they can't get their application back.
