White square in system tray

Ive got an annoying white square in the system tray. No info, no nothing when clicking it. It happened after installing kdebluetooth (I think) but uninstalling it or not using it doesnt help. The white square is still there.

I recon somewhere in my kde config files there is something set up that makes this white square appear. Ive tried deleting the configfiles and directories for kdebluetooth, but this doesnt remove the white square either. So Im kind of lost here. In a desperate attempt to
solve the problem I removed .kde3.2 and set up KDE again, copying the relevat files back. This worked. Using kdebluetooth also worked, however on the next login the white square was back.

Suggestions?

Uhhh... right click on your "system tray" applet in kde, and see that it says "system tray"

No, it's not just a winder's term. On this system tray note problem, I have a quesiton. I've got the same problem, but does anyone know how to fix knotes, so that it doesn't have a white square, when you restart your session?

Yeah, I get this problem if I leave knotes open with I end my session. I can kill it then start knotes again and it works and looks fine then, but let me leave it running and log off, it will be doing the same thing as before when I log back on.
