Apparently it is related to the object applications use to create their status icon.

I've heard mentions of "GTKStatusIcon" (supposedly the solution), "GTKTrayIcon" and something about an eggicon.
Presumably, these are all interfaces to make the notification area icons, with GTKStatusIcon tending to be the thing cited as the answer in most of the forums and mailing lists I've seen.

I don't pretend to know what all of that means, but I do know that it was working fine until Karmic. If Banshee was using method X to create a tray icon in Jaunty, it still behaves the same way in Karmic! The logical conclusion is that something has changed _outside_ of the applications which are reporting the bug.

Some feedback from someone who knows anything about this would certainly be appreciated - by everyone here, no doubt.
