How to get the Skype icon into the Ubuntu 11.10 Unity panel
When you use Skype with Ubutun 11.10 on Unity you will encounter problems when closing it: Usually it just went to the GNOME panel, but now it just disappears. Choosing it from the Unity launcher will complain that there is already an instance of Skype running and you won’t be able to open it again.
The good news: There is a setting that defines which applications are allowed to hook into the panel and Skype is just missing. Run this command to get the current whitelist
lennart ~$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier']
Now just add Skype to it:
lennart ~$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier', 'Skype']"
That’s it! Now just log out and in again, start Skype and use it just like you were used to.
