Different tray icon sizes in GNOME 3.12

I notice for some time that the tray icon sizes in my GNOME environment are of different sizes. For example the 'Removable Devices' notification shows up with correct size, but some other notification icons are way too small in comparison to how they should be. It seems like all notification icons show up with correct size except the ones from applications using the QT toolkit (in the screenshot below VLC and Dropbox).

Manually changing the icon size as explained in the wiki doesn't work. Any ideas why this happens and what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Moderator edit [ewaller] changed img tags on an otherwise pleasant but over sized picture to url tags

Dropbox uses gtk2

anyway, this has been the case in gnome3 forever. Looks like they're finally doing some redesigning for the tray that should improve the situation.
afaik there's no workaround, apart from using extensions like topicons

btw your image is too big, also you could argue whether it's safe for work or not.
