I want to enable the System tray icon for Pidgin in Ubuntu 11.10 (with Unity), but I don't see it.

I have to start it again and again from the launcher panel or from the dash.

Is there a workaround to show the system tray icon in Unity? I think it's the same behavior for Skype and some other applications also.

execute:

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

and remember to set the system tray to "always" in pidgin preferences.

enter image description here

If the change doesn't take effect immediately, run unity --replace
