Ubuntu Quicktip: Have Wuala (and Dropbox) notification/tray icons in unity

You need to whitelist programs to have them show their notification / tray icon in unity.

To see what’s in the whitelist:

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist

This will result in something like this output:

['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus-service']

To have Wuala and Dropbox icons appear you’ll need to set the array to:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Wuala', 'Dropbox']"

Or to allow all panel icons:

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