The thing is, in Gnome-Shell, there is no such thing as a "system tray
area". So until we move to real app with dbus backend + Gnome extension,
you need to use an extension that will display the content of the "systray".

In Tails, TopIcon+ is used, which is available in Debian and should be
in Ubuntu as well.

When the applet is running, enabling such an extension should make it
visible (and possible to interact with).

Cheers,
