Plasma System Tray Shows Multiple Instances of Running Apps

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Using Jaunty up-to-date, KDE 3.41 and Plasma widgets in system tray.  After a FF-3.5.2 crash, I lost most of the
installed icons and the running apps no longer show in the sys tray.  Well, I've done a lot, such as reinstalling okular, gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-bin, gvfs-fuse and libgvfscommon0, and probably others I don't remember now.  Why, because there were output errors associated with those files.  I reinstall some of the plasma programs also but can't remember which ones.  So, I reinstalled the program Icons I wanted in the tray and somehow recovered the clipboard, NM and default sound mixer that were hidden.  But, The running apps did not show in the sys tray.  I played around with the plasma tray a little more changing the spacings and found the running applications but
they repeat sequentially for all running programs until the empty space in the tray is filled up and they show on the right instead of in the middle as they did from initial install until the crash occurred.  If I delete one of the repeating apps then it closes the program and all the running apps place markers disappear.
Would appreciate any help, suggestions on how to get the sys tray back as it was(without repeat app place markers and the markers in the center of the tray).  I have moved tray icons and place marker around on the sys tray before but failed in doing what I want since the firefox-3.5 crash.  Happy to supply any other info requested.
Thanks for your help,
