System tray (notification area) icons are placed in strange non-intuitive place - left buttom corner of window!

[Norbert]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 17.10.
2. Launch Ubuntu GNOME session
3. Install application which places its icon to the system tray (notification area) such as `hplip` or `transmission`
3. Try to find application icon in the system tray (notification area) - right top corner of the screen

Expected results:
system tray (notification area) is easy to find and placed on right top corner of the screen, does not overlap screen elements and windows

Actual results:
system tray (notification area) is difficult to find, it is placed on left bottom corner of the screen and automatically hides on start or after inactivity, or overlaps left bottom corner of the screen (see screenshot)

Same on GNOME Xorg.

The notification area code was removed in 3.25 which resolves that issue

Is it any chance to include TopIcons ( https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/ ) to 17.10 as in GNOME 3.26 (see https://www.gnome.org/news/2017/09/gnome-3-26-released/ )?

About TopIcons see https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.26/ .

Norbert, Ubuntu 17.10 provides indicator support by default:
