You know, I've definitely seen this before. I'm sure there's something we're not doing right on shutdown to manually remove ourselves. (you'd think if a process that added a tray icon exited, the icon would get removed automatically 🙃 )

Cheers! I heard some already got used to move mouse around tens of those icons in the taskbar. They said, "it evolved into a habit".
