This is an XEmbed vs. SNI (StatusNotifierItem) issue. I looked into it a few years ago, and I believe the issue lies on the Qt side (but my memory could be faulty).

Does that mean you can't do anything about it? Where can I report this problem instead?

[radioactiveman]

Exactly, please report this to the Qt developers and reference this discussion. Thanks.
