No icon in tray under GNOME Classic

[Ch. Hanisch]

I have 'guake' and 'fusion-icon' in my autostart. When I select 'GNOME Classic' then no icon is shown in tray for this programs.

Only after start the program 'tint2' I have in the menu bar for tint2 the icons for 'guake' and 'fusion-icon' viewable.

It works under Ubuntu 12.10 in a virtualBox.
~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

Do you have the Notification Area in your panel? It is not added by default. If not, alt+right click the panel (or alt+super+right click if using the compiz session), Add to Panel/Notification Area.

Hallo,

Sorry, but alt+right click or alt+super+right click has no effect on my
system.
On GNOME Classic with working compiz I think that I have the
Notification area working. The Icon for 'clipit' and 'skype' is visible
in panel.

with regards

Hello,

this above problem is only in a virtualbox achieved - why?

[Ch. Hanisch (ch-hanisch)]

Hello,

after Super+Alt+right click works well again I have the Notification Area ("Vollständige Benachrichtigungsanzeige") removed and then once again installed.

Now the Icons are visible in Panel and no more in the tint2-Panel. The problem is solved.

Hi,

Is there any perticular reason for not adding the Notification area applet by default?

Is there any way to add it for all users logging in to the machine automatically. I've tried creating a schema in /usr/share/glib-2.0/ but I can't seem to get it working.
