Indicator icon does not appear on Linux

[alexgleason]

Hi,

I'm using elementary OS, an Ubuntu-based distro. Launching Fire.app works fine, and I can see the process is running in the background (no errors in terminal) but the icon doesn't show up at all in my system tray.

On the Compass.app changelog, it reads:

[FIX] support Application Indicator (aka. system tray) on Ubuntu 13.04+ #119, #169

I think this may be related. Ubuntu-based distros are now handling application indicators in a different way than before. Does Fire.app support this? I just bought it and am looking forward to using it but I can't until I'm able to see the icon.

Thanks!

Please check #186

@hlb Thanks, with trayer I can at least click the icon now.

However I feel that this is a bad solution. Elementary OS uses Ubuntu's new Application Indicator system and has chosen to exclude the obsolete system tray by choice. Also, trayer is a bad user experience on Elementary OS since it covers the main task bar preventing me from managing my windows.

I think the solution is to support the new Application Indicator.

Thanks.
