I think this is unity specific as I get the system tray icon when I launch under Xubuntu natty.

summary: - istanbul doesn't launchs at natty

I could reproduce the bug. Istanbul is listed in the running processes. Just that the panel icon does not show up.

I started gnome-panel and ran istanbul again. This time, I got the icon on the panel. But on stopping the recording, Istanbul crashed with the following error :

Agging 'istanbul' to the gconfkey "com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist" enables the systray icon. You can start and stop recording with istanbul. But it crashes on stopping without showing the save dialog box. Recorded videos are saved in /tmp directory.

Command

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist

This returns something like ['a', 'b', 'c']

then do

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['a', 'b', 'c', 'istanbul']"

This is a policy decision. Istanbul should be adapted upstream (or distropatched) to support appindicators.
