Hey Dick,<br>
<br>
I had the same issues with Natty's notification tray... I did
this:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/" target="_blank">http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/</a><br>
<br>
But you can also install dconf-editor (should be in synaptic
or just apt-get install from a terminal), you'll want to
expand: Desktop --> Unity --> Panel and then manually
edit the systray-whitelist key - follow the syntax for the
items already present.<br>
<br>
You'll have to log out and log in to see the changes... and as
a heads up, some items still don't display properly...<br>
<br>
Have a good one...<br>
Daniel<br>

Well, Natty is has pretty well done away with the notification tray.
That's the whole point of indicators, and it seems that Canonical is
attempting to shove things along a little in that direction. For
now, though, most applications are still in a transitional period,
meaning those tray icons are still pretty useful.<br>
<br>
I just thought that I'd mention that you can also whitelist
literally all tray icons with the command <font face="DejaVu Sans
Mono">gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
"['all']"</font>, which is what I've done myself... but I don't
use too many applications that make use of the tray, so clutter is a
non-issue. Just thought I'd let it be known that you can do that.<br>
<br>
Also, you don't actually have to log out and back in. Press Alt+F2,
then type <font face="DejaVu Sans Mono">unity --replace</font> to
restart the window manager, and voila. Oh, and to install
dconf-editor, you actually need to install the dconf-tools package.<br>
<br>
Hope that was at least mildly useful. :)<br>
