Public bug reported:

If there is no indicator support in the desktop environment, there is no
fallback to a status icon. Additionally, the progress window is set to
not display in the pager.

In consequence the window disappears behind all other windows when using
GNOME Shell and there is no easy way to see that a progress is actually
going on and there is no notification when the progress is finished. As
the window is displayed neither in the Activities overview nor in the
Alt-Tab switcher, the only way to get to it is to move all windows to
another workspace.

A solution would be to remove the patch that hides the window from the
pager. This should not affect the Unity user interface, as the window is
displayed in the launcher anyway.
