4. On the left sidebar, use the triangles to navigate to desktop > unity > panel. On Ubuntu 12.04 you instead need to navigate to com > canonical > unity > panel. Double-click on the orange [JavaEmbedded...] part on the right and add 'inSync' to allow the inSync indicator to show as below:

5. Press Enter, close dconf editor; logout and login -- your inSync icon should now show!

Sometimes still you will not be able to see the inSync icon even after performing the above steps which normally fails with the below error:

To fix this problem, follow the below steps.
