It seems that notification area (systray) is still supported, but for limited supported "white-liste" apps. See this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/596879
I propose that, at least for a transition period, *all* applications should be white-listed. Those who want to achieve this just have to issue this command in a terminal: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "[ 'all' ]" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733312 Title: Natty: missing notification area -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
