System Tray Icons are invisible or wrong.



Has anyone else seen or heard of this odd issue? (Using opensuse 11.1,
KDE4.3.0)

I have a system tray "plasmoid/widget" (whatever it is called) on the
panel at the bottom of the screen, and it has been exhibiting some
strange behavior.

KMix, Klipper, and opensuse-updater icons all appear as normal. BUT -
if more icons are added to the system tray, they either are blank
squares, or a copy of the icon to the left.

The offending icons so far are KNetworkManager, Pidgin, VMware and I
also tried wicd (to see if it was just knetworkmanager). When I hover
the mouse over the blank (or copied icon) and right click, the
appropriate menu items appear. It just seems so odd that they show up
as blank squares, or copies.

It is almost as if the system tray is one count off for the icons.
