Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
Since I prefer some applications are minimized in the tray bar (Skype, Pidgin, Mobloquer, etc.), I have added them to the Unity whitelist. These applications are also set to start at logon.
Now, sometimes it happens that these applications are not visible in the traybar. If I check in system monitor, I can see they are actually running. If I kill their processes and start them again, icons are correctly shown.
I guess this is due to the fact Unity is not able to "grab" these application at startup, maybe because they start before Unity is loaded.

Could you try killing these applications and making them start again and see if the icons come up?
