Some apps do work with symbols in systray. For skype, dropbox thats in fact is working under unity. But some apps are simply not displayed. Eg. AeroFS

To allow every app to create a symbol in systray, give it a wildcard:

Execute dconf-editor (if not available, install it).
Set unity/panel/systray-whitelist to ['all']

Quit dconf, log off and on. Thats it.

This is my personal list of apps I install on (almost) every ubuntu-box...

Jailbreaking my old Iphone 3GS 4.1 (05.14.02) was finally successful.

Tool used: http://www.greenpois0n.com/

First tries under Windows did not do it.
Try under Linux and it's ok. (sudo!)

1. Download greenpois0n here: http://www.greenpois0n.com/
2. To run the tool under 64bit linux, it could be a little tricky.
   you may need some 32bit libs. I suggest using getlibs to install the libraries you need in 32bit versions. This is the command:
   sudo getlibs /path/to/greenpois0n_x86
3. Start your Iphone in DFU-Mode:
   1. Turn off the phone
