no trayicon for gajim in plasma (kde5)

Gajim is a python/gtk2 xmpp application.
In preferences -> notifications the option "Show notification area icon" is set to "Always" but I don't get a tray icon in Plasma.

Any ideas how to enable it?
(the problem is that if I close the roster window it just hides it, and then I can't show it)

Versions:
Gajim: 0.16.1-1
pygtk: 2.24.0-5
plasma-desktop: 5.3.0

Did you reboot after installing them? Logging out/in of plasma might work also, but I just rebooted when I installed those a while back to get the Chrome tray icon and it seems to be working fine.
