Either system tray icons or unity-control-center icons disappear - how can I have both?

Note: I'm using Unity desktop on 18.04.
First, most of the icons in unity-control-center are missing after I installed then uninstalled mate-desktop and caja.
I tried reinstalling all of the installed unity* packages, still no result.
I resolved the problem by removing export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity from my .profile file and rebooting, however it leads to some applications' tray icons not appearing, for example the one for Discord, which I use frequently. Re-inserting that line resolved Discord's system tray, but then the Control Center problem comes back.
Question: How do I resolve these issues at the same time?

I managed to resolve it myself by doing a workaround via alacarte for each problematic applications;
- Open up
alacarteand navigate to your application (you can manually edit, but make sure to know what to do. Usingalacarteis the safe way) - Add this string before the actual command:
env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity - Save, and close
- (Optional) Manually modify
~/.config/autostart/*.desktopof your application and add the same string afterExec=if that still happens. - Comment out/delete
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unityfrom your.profile
It appears that adding that line to .profile causes a bug on Unity in 18.04.
