Bug Description
Unity has a whitelist option for the systray. For example, I can use the following to whitelist everything:
gsettings set com.canonical.
Selective choices are also possible.
However, that option has disappeared from 13.04. This is a serious omission, as some applications (such as TrueCrypt) use it extensively, and others (such as SpiderOak) actually require it for some of their critical functionality.
The ability to whitelist selected or all applications is vital for a functioning system. Please replace it.

As of today, no icons for ktorrent and truecrypt.
This is really bad for truecrypt, because you can't bring the mount/dismount dialog up again (relaunching the app gets you a 'Truecrypt is already running!" error). You have to dismount everything from the command line and kill the app if you want to get back to the GUI.
