For the record, this is currently purely a design decision, not a
technical problem. Unity does have a systray, but most applications
are not allowed to use it. The current exception list is AFAIR Java
applications, Skype, and Mumble.

If this is a major issue, then frankly I'd rather just remove the
whitelist and allow all old-style systray applications than dropping
Unity by default completely.
