I normally start Skype and it appears in the upper panel and works. But now when I start it, it doesn't appear! But it works like normal. Stackapplet is appearing in the panel.

My whitelist: ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus-service', 'jupiter']

I've tried

  • to remove jupiter

  • to purge skype

  • to delete the panel and create a new one

This is how it looks right now. all my other applications work except Skype. enter image description here

I guess this is not a normal message to get when I type: skype -version ?!

Skype version: 2.2.0.35

Skype does not use the standard indicator-applet functionality in Natty to show its Icon.

Instead it requires the old Notification-Area-Applet (right click the Panel and "Add To Panel") for it to work correctly.

You can double check that this applet is running by running the following command in a terminal window:

killall -9 "notification-area-applet"

If it responds with a "notification-area-applet: no process found" error message then the applet is not running (i.e. has not been added to the gnome-panel)
