Mark,

Start an app that uses the notification area such as Amarok or Pidgin. 
You will then see the that app in the notification area. It's normally 
invisible if no app is using it unless you have the Show Frame option 
turned on. Once you see where it is, you can right click on it and see 
its properties. If Show Frame isn't already on, turn it on, then you 
will see it even when nothing is using it.
