So, this is a bug in gnomemeeting, can it not be solved ? I am not
familiar with the details, but i guess that you would need to search for
the notification area before you make the UI visible, or even don't
build the UI if you are only going to display in the notification area.

There still is something wrong with the gnome-session thingy, since the
priority change doesn't seem to be remembered.

So, this is a bug in gnome-session, which should provide a way for
startup apps to provide icons.

Thanks for your response,
