Please, do file a bug report. I don't know either if the system tray or 
the application is at fault (or even both ;-), but maybe we can find a 
way to make it work anyway. I never found out exactly how these things 
are supposed to work; lots of X internals involved, which doesn't 
exactly make things easier.
