Unity support is possible #56

Only just need to allow it in notification area using:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'firefox'"

or for lazy guys:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "[ 'all' ]"

I'm using Firefox 7.0.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and all it's working good, except the preferences checkbox of DownThemAll!, that remains disabled.

There are some issues with mintrayr for firefox on unity (after applying the "gsettings" command):

  1. does not work on minimisation, no matter whether i select "minimise to tray on minimise" or "minimise to tray instead of closing and while minimising" setting for mintrayr.
  2. if you have viewed the context menu from the tray icon, the next time you restore, the menubar goes missing. So better disable "show context menu on right click" option for mintrayr.

I must say that since I report the issue, the main window of Firefox 7 is minimized perfectly and I can find its icon in the tray. Works perfectly with my Download, Bookmarks and DownThemAll! windows. Surely you're right about that, you are the expert, but I have disabled the Global Bar menu integration extension many time ago, because I can not see Start Private Browsing, and I remove the Menu Bar from Firefox, and use the button. With that condition, works perfectly. My Ubuntu Firefox Modifications extension is disabled too, without valid reason. The context menu works excellent for me too. I'm very happy with MinTrayR, and I will send a anonymous contribution.Thank you very much. Your extension jumps Firefox to another level in Unity. :)

Does anyone know the correct panel indicator name to enter into the Unity whitelist on Ubuntu Oneiric when using this plugin with Thunderbird 8.0? I'd rather not use the lazy ['all'] approach (which does work) because there are indicators I DO NOT want to see. As far as I can tell both 'thunderbird' and 'Thunderbird' do not work. Or perhaps the plugin's name is entered instead? Never used this with firefox, so I don't even know if entering 'firefox' would work when it is a plugin there.

It's working fine on Ubuntu 12.04 with the exception that the menu is not available after restoring from minimization. I don't need the menu often so it's not a problem for me but it would be great if it worked.
