Doesn't this application have a more serious problem in that its using the notification area? I thought the goal of Ubuntu was to get apps moved over to the new dbus backed libindicate framework so the notification area can be dropped entirely. If you haven't noticed Ubuntu has already started the process of patching applications to use the libindicate framework instead of the notification area. And I'm not sure that gnome 3.x is going to have a notification area at all, so the work Ubuntu is doing now maybe a forerunner of what is to come for gnome in general.

yeah, I’m the one who filed it. Although I have yet to succeed in contacting the developer to see is the project is still active.

Please take a look at http://www.andreasn.se/blog/?p=103

An application requiring menu icons should use gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image ().
