Cinnamon 3.0.5: Only 32-bit apps tray icons are shown

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the Cinnamon systray:
The Cinnamon systray doesn't show any application, but when I start a Windows app with Wine that has a tray icon that one is shown.

Skype icon is shown though. Maybe because it is Qt4? Or it is 32-bit?
Icons that aren't shown include telegram desktop and octopi.
How to fix this? (libappindicator-gtk2, libappindicator-gtk3, lib32-libappindicator-gtk2 and lib32-libappindicator-gtk3 are installed).

PS: In KDE Plasma 5 everything works.

EDIT: installing sni-qt and lib32-sni-qt solved the problem for telegram, but not for octopi.

Responding to this so I'm subbed. I just installed Cinnamon on a testing btrfs subvolume and I couldnt get the systray to work for gmusicbrowser, but it did work for hexchat, so it seems this problem isnt just your system. All systray applets work fine in openbox/xfce4-panel, so its cinnamon specific.

Ill prolly dig into it and see what I can figure out. Ill update here if I figure anything out.

I have some news about it.
I have tried to install GNOME on the same system (i.e. the gnome package). After that, tray icons are shown in both GNOME and Cinnamon. Why? What was the needed package? I can't figure out how to know it.
