I think we have miscommunicated. I mean the Notification Area applet, not the Window Buttons applet. The Notification area only shows icons for a handful of system-type utilities, like network manager, bluetooth manager, volume control, and so on. Most applications never use the Notification area at all, whether running or not - for example, Firefox, LibreOffice, mail client, etc.
