Problem with systray after update

[Megamaniac]

Hi. Yesterday I did update my wine to version 1.1.40 and while it still works okay something weird happened to my system tray.

Windows programs that usually minimize to system tray used to create a small icon on the upper left corner of the screen, next to the clock and date, but after the update everytime I minimize one of those programs an anoying small window appear called Wine System Tray. I already took a look at the hole wine configuration and didn't found any option to make it back to how it used to be.

¿Any help with this problem?, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmik koala) and I'm a complete newbie on the hole GNU/linux stuff (two weeks since I left Windows for good), so if possible, don't get too technical about it.

I occasionally get this with other applications until I restart the window manager or X. Have you tried doing this?

Yeah, I've tried rebooting, moving stuff on the compiz desktop manager and so on, still that mini window pops out

How did you updated it?

Through the update manager, an update appeared on the menu and I just installed it, Previously I had the version that came with the ubuntu dvd.

Does it happen with every program or just one?

Only have two programs with that feature which are Hotsync manager (part of palm desktop, which btw doesn't run properly on wine), and Ventrilo, the systray works the same with both, appearing in a separate window.
