Bug Description
Binary package hint: amule
I have Amule start automatically with the Gnome desktop. Amule has the options "start minimized" and "minimize to tray icon". With those options turned on, Amule disappears completely after it is auto-started. It still runs in the background, but it doesn't show in the task bar or the system tray.
Steps to reproduce:
1) The amule package needs to be installed, obviously
2) Go to System -> Preferences -> Session and make a new entry for Amule (/usr/bin/amule).
3) Start Amule.
4) In Amule, go to Preferences -> General and check "Start minimized", "Enable Tray Icon", and "Minimize to Tray Icon".
5) Quit Amule, restart X
6) After Gnome initializes, Amule should be running (check with ps -A | grep amule), but you won't see Amule anywhere on the screen.
There is a way to bring the Amule window back: Start Amule as you manually would, i.e. Applications -> Internet -> Amule.
Ubuntu version: Feisty Fawn, herd5
Amule version: 2.1.3

After the latest update, it sometimes works now. That is, sometimes after Gnome starts up the Amule icon is visible like it should be, sometimes it isn't.
