"solution" : look away from the system tray. At least it is better
than it was in 4.1.

Another related thing is this: If you hide some of the systray icons,
the process of displaying and hiding it takes some time - it is not a
smooth process. You expand the tray and wait for it to be populated -
a noticeable amount of time.
