Title:
  App Indicator not showing apps launched with Wine

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  System: Intel® Core™ i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz × 4, 3,8 GiB RAM
  OS: Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits
  Unity: 7.0.0daily13.04.18~13.04-0ubuntu1
  Wine: 1.4.1-0ubuntu5

  Given that I launch an app with wine that has a systray icon
  When that app opens
  Then I should see the systray icon displayed in the App Indicator
  But the icon is not displayed
  And I can only see the icon when I open the Workspace switcher (Alt+s)
  Or while switching workspaces (ctrl+alt+arrow)

  Since Wine nor Unity crash, I couldn't find any log or useful debug
  info on the problem.

  It used to work in 12.10, so I think the problem is related to the
  recent removal of system tray support
  (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/raring-retires-system-tray-
  whitelist). Yet, as I understand, Wine apps are whitelisted. Maybe the
  problem is that Unity is not recognizing the app as being launched by
  Wine?

  EDIT: tested with Pidgin to make sure the behaviour wasn't app
  specific. The bug was reproduced.
