Looking through the list of application indicators, I see screenshots that appear to have a Shutter indicator. Where can I find & install this?

Until they get perl bindings for app indicator, you can whitelist Shutter systray as per the one-line command posted in this question,
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "$(gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist | sed -e "s/]$/, 'shutter']/")"
GUI Editor method
Install
dconf-tools
Open dconf-editor
Run Command Alt+F2 and type
dconf-editor
Navigate to
desktop => unity => panel
Add the text
,'shutter'
to the end of the list (inside the square bracket).Close dconf-editor and restart Unity (Run Command Alt+F2 and type
unity
)

It would be the application executable name, test in Terminal. So dropbox and pidgin would be as is. You could alternatively replace the list with just
['all']

I ultimately just put in ['all']. Now I get my blinking pidgin systray back :) Thanks for the tip.– DustinMay 5, 2011 at 16:44

Shutter doesn't have an indicator because there are no indicator bindings for Perl.
Instead I keep shutter on my launcher and just use the quicklists to do take fast screenshots:
Andrei from WebUpd8 has written an application indicator for Shutter. It isn't perfect, but you should find it satisfactory. It works in 11.04 and 11.10.
To install it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-shutter
Or:
- Add
ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
to your software sources. - Refresh the sources.
Install indicator-shutter <--- by clicking on this icon or running
sudo apt-get install indicator-shutter
Instructions taken from here.
There is - at least - an official solution with Shutter 0.89, available in Shutter PPA.
To get the official Shutter indicator, you will need to add and upgrade/install from the official stable Shutter PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.– fossfreedom ♦Aug 2, 2012 at 22:09

This is the best solution, because it will be the official indicator for Shutter, so will be mantained in future releases.– StefanoNov 20, 2012 at 12:22
I had to install the following additional packages before shutter would appear in the launcher. Even then, it disappears without warning, so you must lock it to the launcher as soon as the app is up:
sudo apt-get install libnet-dropbox-api-perl # Dropbox support
sudo apt-get install libnet-dbus-glib-perl # UbuntuOne required?
