Is there any way by which I can not use Thunar Sys Tray icon?

I am using stalonetray in OpenBox in Arch and when I copy-paste or cut-paste files in Thunar, a sys tray icon pops up. I don't want it to pop up.
Is there any way by which I can make it to not pop up?

I haven't used thunar for a while - but I don't remember it ever doing this before.  I just verified that it doesn't here (freshly installed thunar, and cut-pasted, copy-pasted, etc, and I didn't get a tray icon.

Are you sure this isn't some other tool, like a clipboard manager?  Are their any tooltip popups or menus available on the tray icon and/or what happens when you click the icon?

No. I use only Thunar. When I hover on the icon it says that "1 file operation running" when a copy-paste or cut-paste operation happens and when I left click and right click on it, it shows the copying window of thunar. The icon shows two small yellow folders placed diagonally. It's the same icon that appears on the file operation progress window of Thunar. I don't know whether Numix has anything to do with the specific icon though.

I can confirm the behavior.

1. Installed thunar
2. Copy file large enough to justify a copy dialog
3. Tray icon appears

No solution, though.
