Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
PROBLEM
Upon update to the version identified as "10.0.648.127 (76697) Ubuntu 10.10", Chromium puts its icon in the GNOME Panel system tray. This icon cannot be hidden, is distractingly close to the next-closest one, and is in full-color even if it's part of a monochrome icon theme.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to the latest version of the chromium-browser package.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Chromium, a first-class modern browser on the Ubuntu platform, will not break UI integration in such a noticeable and garish way. It will either use a properly-spaced, monochrome icon, or will give the option to hide its system tray icon. The features exposed through the system tray menu will be accessible through other means (Internal menu, Docky docklet, Unity add-on).

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. I don't see this in a standard Ubuntu desktop install. This bug has the ubuntu-une tag, I just wanted to confirm if you are running the netbook edition.
Thanks.
