Bug Description
On other installs, this extension correctly provides a system tray space for apps to display their indicator icons. However, on a fresh install of 17.10 with gnome running from lightdm (because gdm3 fails with the current nvidia binary drivers), it doesn't appear to be active. There are background apps (like variety) which should be displayed, but no icons appear.

Got GDM3 to temporarily work by stopping a successful lightdm run and starting gdm3, but the tray icons are still missing, so likely unrelated to display manager.
