Gnome Shell: show skype icon












6














I need to show icons for Skype, Empathy and Dropbox in my system tray (top side). I've read about Gnome Shell extension to show icons in my system tray on the different websites, but this isn't working for me.



I am using: Ubuntu 12.10 + Gnome Shell 3.6.1



These instructions haven't helped me (perhaps it was a problem in backwards compatibility changes in Gnome Shell version).

            But this is not Unity panel. This is different project- Gnome Shell, not Unity.
