Gnome power manager systray icon won't full hide

What the subject says.  It just disables the icon, leaving an empty space in my notification area.  I searched the archforums/google, but couldn't find anything about it.  I'm using gnome with compiz/emerald and tint2.  I get the same issue with gnome-panel and awn.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Using tint2:

I can click on the empty space and open the power management utility.

Okay, it's a bug with tint2.  Awn did it sometimes too, but not consistently enough for me to get too annoyed.  I solved it by using the following script to start the gnome-power-manager:

#!/bin/sh
#gets rid of the empty space left in the tint2 systray by gnome power
#manager
gnome-power-manager
gconftool-2 --type String --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/icon_policy low
gconftool-2 --type String --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/icon_policy never
exit

Ugly hack, but it works.
