It seems to be known, but we don't know the cause. Our trayicon x11 code has been fully rewritten last year according to the freedesktop spec and the problem still persists. We really need a gnome person to look into this.

And yes, the fact that it works "sometimes" does suggest a timing bug somewhere.

Is this a known problem? Psi or gnome bug?

it's not just psi and it's not just gnome; it appears to be qt and "notification area" applications in general.

i use openbox, not gnome (desktop nor many gnome applications), and have
used two different applications for notification area functionality:
docker (http://icculus.org/openbox/2/docker/) and recently pypanel (http://pypanel.sourceforge.net/).

psi use to give me a lot of problems with docker, but i don't remember
any since switching to pypanel a few weeks ago, though that doesn't mean
it hasn't happened.

madman, which is a gtk/qt application (i haven't dared to look in the
code to figure out what they are doing with both toolkits) usually
worked with docker, but has trouble interacting with pypanel.

in both cases the problem is the same. the "notification area" icon for
the application doesn't go in to the notification area, but instead
appears in the upper left hand corner (docker) or the upper right hand
corner (pypanel). funny how the location changes with the application providing the notification area.

the cure? repetitively enable/disable the notification area
functionality in the application until the icon appears in the right
spot. with psi it is fairly easy as you can check/uncheck the option
and press apply. with madman you have to enable/disable the option,
press okay closing the settings window, and reopen the settings window
from the application's menu bar if it didn't work. but either way was annoying.

i just provide the above as data points. success with qt notification
area icons is unpredictable and troublesome, not just with psi, but with
other qt applications, and varies between qt applications and
applications implementing the notification area.
