Subject: gnome-panel: Icons vanish from Notification Area
Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.2-0ubuntu1
Severity: normal

Icons in the notification area seem to often "vanish" and leave open space.
The space is clickable and reacts like a normal icon.

If I have at least 3-4 icons Gnome applications icons,
the one or two is invisible most of the time (gnome-power-manager or
gaim).
