I am still getting problems with this - the icon does not show when new messages have arrived.

I don't know which messages people here are talking about (instant or e-mail), but messages from Empathy do enable a green mark on the tray icon - but new e-mail messages (checked by gm-notify) are not causing a green mark on the icon.

New messages dont show this illustrious green dot. (I have never seen the dot to this date)
I do not use Evolution, however I do use gWibber and Empathy and neither of those show the dot.

Doesn't indicate new messages form Pidgin, gm-notify and Evolution.
Tested on Karmic.

The notification area does not use color. Color red is used only for warnings.
The new icons changes according to the events , as in the screenshot.

@mac_v: Oh I see the icon is changing for pidgin but it's barely noticable. It should blink or be more noticable.
