Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. I could not replicate this bug. maybe you can post a screenshot so this could be more clear.

Also with the screenshot, can you just show step by step how you are replicating this bug? thanks.

Hey, I'm not a ubuntu flick kinda guy to post here my screenshots :)

Here how to fix tho, "white-list" list your "apps"

After reboot, just like old mama stew :P

Hey, just picture transparent icon, nothing glorious to show of.
To fix the unity launcher, i just snapped goldedict icon all over the gnome's pixmaps.

Cheers!

When you first launched the program, did the icon show up? what was your exact problem? because once you pin it to the launcher, the icon should appear. As with 11.04 the systray is being less involved with many apps.

Here script, dude on omg-ubuntu posted:
Don't get excited, Alex :p

#!/bin/bash
SCHEMA="com.canonical.Unity.Panel"
OBJECT="systray-whitelist"
APP="$1"
if [ ! "$(gsettings get $SCHEMA $OBJECT 2>/dev/null || echo FALSE)" = "FALSE" ]; then
  echo "Whitelisting $APP to work around flawed distribution design.."
  OBJARRAY=$(gsettings get $SCHEMA $OBJECT | sed -s -e "s#\['##g" -e "s#', '# #g" -e "s#'\]##g")
  if [[ "${OBJARRAY[@]}" =~ "$APP" ]]; then
    echo "$APP already whitelisted, skipping"
  else
    OBJARRAY=("${OBJARRAY[@]}" $APP)
    OBJARRAY=$(echo ${OBJARRAY[@]} | sed -s -e "s# #', '#g")
    OBJSET="['"$OBJARRAY"']"
    gsettings set $SCHEMA $OBJECT "$OBJSET"
  fi
else
  echo "This is not a Canonical \"designed\" product."
fi

seems more like a work around to it since its not allowed in the systray
