0.71.2-1 0 doesnt show tray-icon - nor app-window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start autokey / autokey-gtk 0.71.2-1 0

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect either to see the app-icon in the system tray - or the 
main-application window.
I reality i do see nothing - nor the tray-icon - nor the application window - 
so i cant even configure autokey in the first place. Is there a default 
shortcut to bring up the main-window

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.71.2-1 0

Please provide any additional information below.
Running on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

executing: 

>> autokey-gtk -c 

helps partly - i can at least access the application-window like that.
I assume this is related with the desktop-environment i am using here . but i 
don't really understand where the problem in detail is.

btw: 
The troubleshooting guide here 
(http://code.google.com/p/autokey/wiki/Troubleshooting) mentions that starting 
autokey twice should cause the main-window of session 1 to show up. In my case 
i just get an error message that there is already a running session - but this 
doesn’t help accessing the window itself.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04,  I can use the terminal with the -c 
option to get to the main window but the system tray icon and the settings menu 
are unavailable.
