I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome classic. Pidgin's tray icon doesn't show up. The settings is ok ("Always").

For any case, I've also added it in dconf-editor as per How to enable notification area (systray) for Pidgin although that's probably only for unity.

Also I've reinstalled and restarted Pidgin. But still no success - no trayicon anywhere.

I wanted to check whether I have the taskbar in the UI, but I have no idea how to set up panels in Gnome classic. Right-click on panel doesn't work.

Any ideas?

OMG, Alt + Win + Right click to manage panel? #UsabilityFail – Ondra Žižka Oct 24 '12 at 21:36
@volant, if you form it as an answer with the 2 steps, I'll accept. – Ondra Žižka Oct 24 '12 at 21:48
BTW I filed a bug/RFE to add Notification Area by default. – Ondra Žižka Oct 24 '12 at 21:49
