Whenever elevated privileges are needed and mate-polkit is run (you can test it for example by changing the priority of a process on mate-system-monitor) then an icon of mate-polkit appears on system tray, which shows nothing and if you right or left click it, then it just disappears. This is ugly and confusing for inexperienced users.

If you add --enable-appindicator option at configure, it works properly and when you left click it, then it allows you to drop the elevated privileges. I believe that you will also need to add libappindicator-gtk3 as dependency.
This task depends upon

Ok no need for that. I reported it upstream (https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-polkit/issues/33) and the devs released mate-polkit 1.18.1 which fixes the icon on system tray without --enable-appindicator option. So, I request closure on this bug and I will flag the package out of date.
