Amarok doesn't show icon in system tray

[Kay Simon]

Since Amarok 2.5, there doesn't appear an icon in the system tray. When I start playing a song, the icon appears instantly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Amarok
2. Look at system tray
3. Start playing a song

I'm using Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric with actual packages of KDE SC 4.8.1 from the official Kubuntu-PPA.

I've seen this too and at first only on one of my machines, now it seems to be affecting more of them. I reported this bug when I noticed it in KDE 4.8 RC1 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290250
