xchat-indicator provides messaging menu integration (indicator) for
xchat.  It has nothing to do with the lack of the old system tray for
applications that don't provide indicators.

** Changed in: xchat-indicator (Ubuntu)

Title:
  System tray management

Status in “xchat-indicator” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When installing the application Bomgar, it by default it has a system
  tray icon in literally every linux distro imaginable, but not in
  Ubuntu 14.04 because there's no 'indicator' for it and no way to edit
  it via dconf-editor.

  In 12.04 we could use dconf-editor to determine what icons appeared in
  the system tray, we can not with 14.04.  Despite installing xchat-
  indicator and enabling 'minimize to system tray', all it does is
  create a launch button under the 'Messages' icon, it doesn't actually
  minimize to the system tray.  So if you minimize your XChat, it's lost
  and gone.

  The system for managing the system tray in 12.04 wasn't great, it was
  workable, but in 14.04 it's absolutely absurd.  There's thousands of
  applications with system tray icons that have no 'indicator'.  Many
  applications minimize to system tray and without that icon the user is
  just out of luck as they can't get their application back.
