I have wrote a program in Lazarus (Free Pascal) for Ubuntu 12.04. This program has an icon in system tray bar, but by default icon is not visible there. How can I compose a *.deb package in order to Unity desktop environment allows the system tray icon for my program?

Please, do not advise me to use Dconf-editor for this purpose because it's a user way, but I need to know a standard way (approved by Canonical) for deploying such *.deb-packages.

I don't believe it's possible - Canonical want you using indicators rather than tray icons now, IIRC. – Douglas Leeder Jul 03 '12 at 11:53
If this is true, then it is a very stupid policy – macropas Jul 03 '12 at 11:59

Your question is not clear. I think you want to include indicator-applet for your program, But unfortunately pascal binding for indicator applet is not available yet – Tachyons Jan 20 '13 at 13:02
