#893 empty systray space when trayed application state changes

[Denis Prost]

if one application that sits in the systray changes its state and, so, has to display a new icon instead of the old one, the new icon appears on the right of the systray and the place where the old icon was stays empty. So, after several changes, the systray size grows and grows with more and more empty space.
The expected behaviour would be that the old icon is simply replaced by the new one at the same place.
Example on a netbook :
1) configure xfce4-power-manager to always appear in the systray (run xfce4-power-manager-settings)
2) start xfce4-power-manager with AC power on and battery plugged in
3) unplug the battery
you'll see the above described behaviour : an empty space appears at the place where xfce4-power-manager icon was, while the icon corresponding to the new state appears on the rignt.

this is on a debian squeeze linux system with icewm 1.3.7~pre2-1 and xfce4-power-manager 0.8.5-2

Maybe it's not a bug with all apps. Skype for Linux does change it's icon in the same place, but Hangouts (Google) does make this bug appear. Could it have something to do with QT/GTK libs?

I had similar issue in Ubuntu 12.04. Sorry, I do not remember version of icewm which I used at that moment.
