systray apps invisible

[Bernhard Mogens Ege]

I have a problem with applications residing in systray. The systray is 
always invisible, nowhere onscreen to be found. What the app starts I
sometimes see a window showing itself and the immediately disappearing 
again. The applikation is running but I cannot access it.

I have to start the app with desktop in order to gain access to the
systray, but that surely cannot be the idea (as I do see the systray
windows flash momentarily on screen).

regards,

Bernhard
