There are two methods of providing a tray icon now: the 'old' standard 
method, and the new 'improved' method. Some desktop providers, KDE and 
apparently now Gnome, support the new method out of the box and you will 
need additional software to support the old standard; for example in 
Cairo-Dock enable Notification Area Old.
