Summary:                    Strange systray icon beheaviour with sylpheed-claws
Description: 
Sylpheed-claws provide a plug-in for systray icon. After the program
started and mailboxes checked, a tray icon apears showing if there is
unread mails.

Sometimes the icon is in the pannel's systemtray and sometimes it is in a
new window (a real small window with borders and close button).

Doesn't seem to be xfce specific, I get the exact same problem with gnome
and metacity.

Couldn't that be a problem with the app itself???

After some others tests, I found an more strange beheaviour.
Sometimes, the icon apears in a small window or in the systray but there
is also an other small window with the same size and title of the systray
icon.

There is no way to close this "zombi" window even with xkill and even if
you quit sylpheed and check there is no more sylpheed process running.
The zombi is also shown in icon box and taskbar (named "??") and in the
desktop switcher (but size and position are false).
If I want to close it, I have to restart X.

Maybe it is sylpheed's fault but I think XCFE must not keep zombies on the
desk. :)

Ok, the tray icon appears only in systemtray but sometimes the width of the
icon is incorrect. The 0000017-xf-shot.png screenshoot show traysystem in
pannel.
