Bug#374832: gnome-panel: too much space between icons in notification area

[Nicoco Kinlidex]

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.1-1+b1
Severity: minor

at startup, the notification area looks good, but after exiting & re-launching apps, space between icons 
gets bigger and bigger...

the apps I use are skype, liferea, gaim, aMule and azureus.
