Basically if you have some applications that use system tray set to autostart, sometimes they appear to start before the system tray and never get icons in it, even though they are running. 

QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
No systemtrayicon available
No systemtrayicon available
libpager-Message: Setting the pager rows returned false. Maybe the setting is not applied.
No systemtrayicon available

in .xsession-errors might be related. 

Can we make sure the panel/system-tray start and are ready before anything that needs them?

as a workaround delay your affected auto starts. For instance I use guake terminal. If it load too early it's transparency is not right so I need to delay it. The command field for my guake autostart entry is (sh -c "sleep 5 && guake") without the (). So it sleeps for 5 seconds before starting guake.

This is still happening, any plans to patch?
Having to go through every autostarted app & adding sleep is pretty cumbersome, any other workaround?

This is getting ridiculous

xfce4-power-manager is auto-started (by system, not user) and it's not showing up in the systray as of upgrading to Fedora 21 (XFCE 4.10.1)

Please check into this!
