Comment 1 for bug 1479413

What version of Ubuntu are you on?

I've just installed it this evening from the 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) repository. In Unity, I can the app indicators in Unity. I'm also running it under i3wm which has support for applets and it's fine there.

Bet you did this already, but there's a debug flag you could also send ie.

  $ kupfer --debug

I already had python-appindicator installed so can't confirm it's a strict dependency or not.

If you have anything you want to try happy to help. There's a mirror on github you could push a patch to if you've solved it.
