When copying/moving/deleting files, the File Operation Dialog box creates a systray icon. When the box disappears the systray icon also disappears, but the space that it used dose not go away.

Systray Agent: Tint2
GTK Version: 2.22.0
Thunar: git and 1.1.4

After talking the the tint2 developer, he found this gtk bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589860

However the bug is over a year old, he suggests that adding a piece of code such as this "gtk_status_icon_set_visible(status_icon, FALSE);" would solve the problem.

However I'm not familiar with gtk+ or the thunar code base to try to implement this change myself.

It is annoying to have a huge gap in the systray. In order to remove the gap I need to completely close out of Thunar.
