Gnome3 system tray not working.

I have both skype and xchat wich should both have a system tray icon.
Gnome3 is just not showing me the system tray when i hover bottom right of the screen.

Does anyone else have this issue aswell ? if so i'll file a bug report.

If I got you right, then your notification area doesn't pop up at all when you move your mouse against the bottom?
Try Super + M instead and see if that will show the system tray.

The bottom right hot corner was disabled almost a year ago! To bring up the message tray you have to "pressure" the bottom off the screen. So move your cursor down anywhere on the screen and dont stop when you reach the bottom but keep moving down and the tray will pop up.
