The missing system tray icons on Fedora 19 Desktop Edition

Once installing Fedora 19 Desktop Edition, I run the systray of Qt Example. But I could not look for the system tray icon.

There is no Notification area in the Activities overview.

Please let me know to display the notification area or the tray icon.

The answer from this reddit post suggests to install AppIndicator support from Gnome extensions. This extension is responsible for showing system tray icons in Gnome. It comes preinstalled in Ubuntu as stated in the answer, but not on Fedora.

By default, you should click the date-time at the center of the status bar to view notifications. Alternatively, super+M shortcut also does the same work.

Today I installed Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 and I couldn't find the Message Tray. Moving the mouse down I made it appear some times. Finally I realized that it opened every time I moved my finger down on the touchpad two times. I don't know if this interaction is intended or it is just a bug.

Super+M works too, thanks!

If you're willing to install the Frippery Bottom Panel.

               ss of panel

The little exclamation point icon on the bar can be clicked to bring up the Message Tray too.

         message tray

Clicking an item from the tray area or pressing Esc to cancel it, will remove the focus on the tray.

Moving your mouse quickly to the bottom right should display the Message Tray. If it doesn't work, use Super+M (windows key+M).

If you're running Synergy, the pressure sensitivity isn't working and you won't be able to use the mouse, because of this known bug. You must use Super+M.
