I have Red Hat based system with Xfce DE and installed Skype last version from official site. When I running it (only once, with one user account) in system tray I seeing doubled Skype icon, and not only Skype as you can see on the screenshot.
How to get rid of the icon's duplicate?

Try prependingdbus-launchbefore the binary to run. E.g.dbus-launch /usr/bin/skypeforlinux. This used to help me with other systray-related problems with Dropbox and Telegram (whose icons simply didn't show up on Xubuntu 14.04).

Try prepending
dbus-launch before the binary to run. E.g. dbus-launch /usr/bin/skypeforlinux. This used to help me with other systray-related problems with Dropbox and Telegram (whose icons simply didn't show up on Xubuntu 14.04).– Ruslan

You could try liujheyu's answer on Ask Ubuntu (see reference):
As a workaround, change EXEC in
/usr/share/applications/skypeforlinux.desktop from
Exec=/usr/bin/skypeforlinux %U
to
Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /usr/bin/skypeforlinux %U
You have to make the same change to
~/.config/autostart/skypeforlinux.desktop so that skype can stay in
tray everytime system reboot. However, it seems that skype will undo
the change of this autostart file everytime it restarts. My solution
is to make this file read-only, like
chmod 440 ~/.config/autostart/skypeforlinux.desktop
Seems to work on Mate (said in the post) and Ubuntu gnome-shell (worked for me).
