open up a terminal program such as gnome-terminal on GNOME or kterminal on KDE and do a ps -A|grep pidgen, do you see anything?

Go to Tools->Preferences. On the Interface tab, if "Show system tray icon" is set to anything but "always", then change it. If that still doesn't make the icon appear, make sure you have a notification area in your panel.
