Comment 2 for bug 490740

I can confirm this issue in Xubuntu 9.10. As can be seen in the attached, the icon is missing between the camera(snapshot) and network-manager icons in the panel. Also, the teatime applet properties is open showing the missing teacup icons. It is difficult to pick the teacup when you can't see them. I can also confirm that when the timer goes off, the display is a blank, with text under it that "your tea is ready".
