Bug Description
Since ubuntu unity does not include a system tray, artha is only partly functional in unity in ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3
Please use libunity to provide good integration between artha and the unity launcher. Currently i can only start the program and call up the window with the shortcut - cannot use the systray functionality.

Artha doesn't use libunity and hence the nature of this bug. But there is a possible workaround.
Step1 - Fetch thewhitelisted systray entries through this command
gsettings get com.canonical. Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
['JavaEmbed dedFrame' , 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'artha', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus-service']
gsettings set com.canonical. Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbedded Frame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'artha', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus- service' ]" pixmaps/ artha.png OR just replace that file with the one attached along this post
Step2 - The list should be something like -
Step3 - Add artha to this list through this command
Step4 - Logout and in and you shall see the artha icon, but this gives rise to another bug that you cannot click on other systray icons.
Step5 - Resize the icon of artha to 24x24 which is located at /usr/share/
Step6 - Restart computer and you are done!!!!
