Comment 1 for bug 788277

I have the same problem but with Kadu and qBittorent on Linux Mint 11, but I installed Skype and yes I can't see the icon too. BUT! If you look really closely you will see there actually IS an icon in the applet but it's one pixel big at best. So maybe it's just problem with loading pictures? (Yes, if you can click on that one pixel it will show Skype window).
