[Bug 83278] Phantom space in Notification Area

[Alex Jones]

Public bug reported:

Try this test app, which creates 100 "invisible" GtkStatusIcons.

----
import gtk

s = {}

for i in range(0, 100):
    s[i] = gtk.status_icon_new_from_icon_name("sound")
    s[i].set_visible(False)

gtk.main()
----

Observe the notification grow loads, even though the icons are supposed
to be invisible.

This problem is causing phantom spacing between notification icons in
the notification area, and makes it look a bit rubbish.

Is this a bug in our Notification Area? Or is it in Gtk?

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
