Several of the indicators don't work for me in Ubuntu 12.10. Specifically, indicator-sensors and the Skype indicator (I also used the ubuntuone indicator, but that hasn't come out yet for 12.10).
Indicators that do work include: sound, network, time, system, battery, empathy, indicator-multiload, and dropbox.
Thanks!
I created a second user account on my machine, making it a "standard" user account.

Mark Shuttleworth: "The Ayatana Indicators work has given us a crisp, clean basis for indicators in the panel. We've said they will all look a particular way, and behave a particular way. And we've said they will be placed on the right of the panel.
The goals are to provide the user with an overview of Ubuntu One state and give useful info about file upload and download status. Additional feature such as the list of recently published files is already implemented.
It happened on my old PC and it still happens with the new one, with a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 installation (Unity).
When returning from a screen lock (I couldn't say if it can be replicated in other ways), some indicators are missing: pidgin, thunderbird (with firetray extension), jdownloader...
I don't know whether those indicators have something wrong regarding unity's tray or something related wit
