Systray in lubuntu-desktop is producing big spaces after some time (indicator-applet)

[Michael Basse]

Using Lubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, the tray-icon is producing big spaces after some time. it can be repdoduced by using suspend or by plugin off and on the ac-adpater

Here is a screenshot of that issue

I am not sure which package is affacted, so i uses "lubuntu-desktop". Please have a look and correct the affected package in the description. Also i am not sure if this is a upstream-bug or a lubuntu-bug

as a workaround.

When i remove the "indicator-applet" from the systray the spaces are gone. after adding the indicator-applet again, everything is still fine until i remove the ac-adapter and plug it in again.

from comments on #lubuntu (freenode) also affected lubuntu 10.04 and lubuntu 10.10
