I'm using the Astrill applet for Linux on Ubuntu 11.10. Up to 11.04 it would work fine and create an icon in the system tray. However in 11.10 Astrill's applet opens just fine however when I minimize it the application simply disappears. There are no icons in the system tray nor in the unity bar. I install tint2 (task bar) to see if I can see the application there but no luck. I know the application is running because I can see it when I execute ps -aux (and also because my traffic is being VPN'ed) is there a way I can bring the application in the foreground?

I talked to Astrill's tech support, they weren't very helpful, basically they "think" that they have customers running their applet on Ubuntu 11.10.
