Missing Icons in system tray

Hi,

i recently installed xubuntu 14.04 with i3 from the repos (4.7.2-1). The problem i have is, that some icons show up in i3's tray such as Dropbox and xfce4-power-manager but others do not like nm-applet or shutter and keepassx. They do run however, and when i launch xfce4-panel, they show up in that panels tray (while Dropbox and xfce4-power-manager are only in the i3 bar)

Here's a screenshot: h_ttp://i.imgur.com/9X46vwC.png (i3bar on top, xfce4-panel rigth below)

Any idea what could cause this ?

Thank you !

Similar problem: when using 2 monitors some icons in the tray area are shown only on one bar. I have no specific options in my i3status.conf file to disable tray area on secondary monitor. Weird thing is that sometimes tray icons are on the main screen, some times on the secondary one.

So it turns out it was a "problem" with XFCE. I had to disable "Indicator-Application" in the XFCE Autostart list.
