System tray does not work in Natty

[Tyler Burton]

Binary package hint: azureus

When minimizing or closing the application to the system tray the application window disappears but no system tray icon is present. You then cannot re-launch the application because the Java process is still running and bound to the network port.

Work around: Kill the Java process and re-launch Vuze. Do not minimize or close the application.

The only slight workaround I've found (because I kept instinctively minimizing/closing) is to open it up through the terminal, that way I can always close the terminal to close the program, and just open it up again... bit easier than killing all the java stuff,.,.,.

This is Unity bug - it doesn't show indicators for most programs.

BTW, the bug is still present in Oneiric (11.10).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
