[Solved] Problem with system tray icon visualization

Hi to all, i have a problem with the visualization of the system tray icons (KDE 4.1.3).
They are non correctly visualized as indicated in the posted screenshot:

The two red arrows indicate respectively the wicd and emesene icons that are not correctly visualized. The icon in the right side (battery status) is correct because it is a separate widget.

Why i have this problem??
My laptop has a Intel(r) 852MG/852MGE/855MG/855MGE card with xf86-video-intel 2.4.3-1 driver.
I post my xorg.conf hope it helps.

Re: [Solved] Problem with system tray icon visualization

Removing the MigrationHeuristic stuff from the device section in your xorg.conf should solve this issue

Upstream bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170283

want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod
