CryptKeeper icon doesn't show up in the tray?

I'm trying to encrypt a folder, but the CryptKeeper icon doesn't show up in the tray. I'm not sure why. I've tried changing the whitlist to "all", but that didn't work. How do I get CryptKeeper to show up in the tray? Or, what would be an alternative to CryptKeeper?

It is a bug.

Here is the bug report:

Bug #760800 “Cryptkeeper icon do not appear on the gnome panel” : Bugs : “cryptkeeper” package : Ubuntu

And a work around:

How To Re-Enable The Notification Area (Systray) In Ubuntu, For All Applications ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog

Basically you run the following command :

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
