Alright. I fixed my issue with "Pidgin" by installing another plugin: 
Installed the 'pidgin-indicator' plugin [1], which provides an AppIndicator.

PS: IOW that means, Xembed-based icons still don't seem to work for me. Is 
this an Ubuntu-only problem or am I missing something? (I have a Qt5-based 
app, using QSystemTrayIcon, whose systray icon doesn't show up)
