I upgraded to Chromium 36 today and it still doesn't show up in my system tray when it's running in the background (I'm using Cinnamon). Does it work for anyone else?

No, and I reported this issue already a while ago:

Chromium 36 fixes most rendering issues for me, only thing now is that the window has a black flicker over it whole exept the window decoration when changing tabs.

It works for me with Chrome 36. I'm using KDE.

What works for you - the app launcher in tray?

Can you post a screenshot how it looks on your system?

Another thing that might be relevant: I'm running Chromium 34 right now, but some time ago a weird change happened, seemingly out of the blue. An icon shows up in the system tray, but only one. It used to be that I had an icon representing Chromium itself and one for each background app. Now only the Chromium icon shows up, but usually I can get it to change to the Hangouts icon (which is currently my only background app). Anyone having similar issues?

To anyone have a systray icon issue.
Try install libappindicator from aur. It fixed my problem.
Apparently chromium switch from xembed based systray to appindicator, which is supported natively by unity/kde/gnome, but not supported by other systray provider.
The libappindicator will act as a bridge from modern appindicator protocol to the old xembed based systray.

@farseerfc

Thanks for the hint. I finally managed to get the tray icon on Openbox.

Installing libappindicator works for me, too. I'm now running Chromium 36 with the appropriate number of icons in the tray.

From the bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41303
I heard that this problem will be fixed by upstream with v37.
I hope we can git ride of libappindicator soon.
