Public bug reported:

>From time to time, systray disappears with all of its icons, which were
showing OK up to that point. Needless to say, this defeats the main
purpose of apps like Skype or Pidgin.

Strange thing is, if I switch to another desktop workspace
(Ctrl+Alt+Arrows), the systray appears for a split second during the
workspace scrolling, then disappears again.

I checked several other bugs and neither seemed to be my case. Also, note that Skype, Pidgin and a few others are whitelisted:
$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Skype', 'Pidgin', 'Evolution', 'Vuze', 'Azureus', 'Azureus2']

Is there at least a workaround to get the systray back when this
happens?

Thanks
