Thanks for your bug report. I suppose you're talking about the applet in the
panel, right? For me it works, but only, if the panel has a certain size. Does
that clear the matter up?

Hi daniel.
I found that i can make 2 things display thier icon in that applet (yes, the one
in the bottom right corner). by full screening firefox (with f11), and launching
the gaim preferences windows. i realised it could be that the screen resolution
here is 600x800? anything else you need im willing to show, i just had
connection issues, so a slow reply :(.

Can you right click and make the panel a bit bigger? Just for testing and see if
it works?

By making the pannel 25 Pix high instead of 24, the icons appeared. :| not sure
if that means i changed it from 25 or if its supposed to be like that.

I think that's an upstream decision to only show icons, if the panel is big enough.
