So far I have been finding it quite annoying. I have removed
libappindicator and went back to X11 system tray. I find it much more
comfortable to one click and open the Hangouts.

Chrome, looks like, will adopt libappindicator and Ubuntu won't
consider any other behavior other than how Unity wants to handle
system tray.
