Indicator show icon Venom if add key venom.desktop to com.canonical.indicator.messages.applications But icon not flashing (when a message is received) and no show the number of messages. And bug: If enabled "option minimize to tray" Venom not showing after minimizing.

Different window managers support different sets of features. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/19846/adding-icon-to-the-system-tray-notification-area Unity devs chose to create their own api called appindicator.

I'm not sure if I can access this api via dbus (so it wouldn't be a buildtime dependency) - If not, it's unlikely I will add support for it in the next time, since it would require to build ubuntu/unity only packages with an additional dependency to appindicator.

Thanks, @freeniki, it works. @naxuroqa, is it difficult to add record there automatically if it is not present?
