when the system tray has like 8 icons in it, (or 7 depending on the size), on any theme it will drop the final slot and give you a down arrow that opens up a second row. Sometimes that row never goes away and locks the home screen and the first row from use even if you try to click the arrow to make it go away.
I reflashed my tablet, and I'm sure GIMP can handle .ani files... it handles just about any image I throw at it. Once I get the theme installed and up I'll see if I can fix this killer 1 pixel bug.

@Kroll: Ok, I sent the fixed .ani files to you.

@mgamerz: I beat you too it . But if you want the fixed ones, let me know where to send it and I'll get them to you. It's nice to have multiple opinions.

I noticed the blue arrow thing not going away. But it's never locked up my desktop. But it's pretty rare that I ever have to many things in my status bar, to cause it to give me the blue arrow.

It's really common for me.
I have... lets see.

Always:
Wifi/Connections
Chat/rtcomm
Bluetooth (When in 'Online' Mode) (sometimes off) (I do use bluetooth a lot)
Advanced Power Monitor
Advanced Backlight-Volume
Application Menu
App Switcher (Because without notification of chat's and emails it sucks. This really needs a fix)
MiniGPSD (might remove... doesn't work with Navit)

Others:
Vagalume (Wish I could hide it to the tray)
Xchat (kind of annoying in the tray)

and since that is 8, I almost always have the arrow which has made me restart hildon-desktop... which apparently unmounted my sd cards, internal and external (only partition 2 of my cloned os on mmc2)
I'm not sure if it's version specific. Right now I just reflashed and am going to test out some software in extras-devel. Some software that I know, like advanced power and minigpsd. Not just random stuff. If it dies I can repartition and reclone the clean flash os i have on the original fs. I'm about to do the icon thing myself actually. I just installed ssh so I can get the .ani file. It'll be quicker and I'll suffer less =]

Edit: .ani files are linux apparently. .cur are for windows. I'm on windows and gimp doesn't read it, and the plugin for it that supports it is outdated and doesn't work with 2.6.8... so you should PM me a link to those spinners or upload them to like mediafire in a zip and lemme get them :]
ASAP!

Don't install advanced power, it's buggy.

Now I know what blue arrow you are talking about. I had a freezed second "level" of status bar only twice. I suspect two things: application applet which is not supposed to be in statusbar ('cause it is from Task Navigator panel) or it is because of terrible statusbar's second level background, lol.
I thing it is because of applications applet.

Chris, thanks for .ani
I already sent it to Mitrandir.

By the way, IMO advanced power is not buggy at all.

I have noticed that when the battery gets low at like 15% it says it has .3%. And sometimes it doesn't seem to have the icon attach to the daemon so it says that the battery is dead but it doesn't have any connection, and sometimes stays red if the charger is connected and says 'charger_connected'. That's all. I'm going to be trying out some stuff from extras devel on my mmc2 installation. I just finished making a nice image on the rootfs so if stuff hits the fan I can just recopy that over the broken one (and all my stuff will be automagically installed already!)
If you could expand hildon's bar, that would be great. Although you might not be able to do that in a simple package.. but I would love more space for that. The bar is kinda useless except for the email program saying new emails.

I'll just leave it here...

(it required my custom build of libhildondesktop0)

woooooooooooohoooooooooo !!!!!!
I waited so long for someone to hack that.
Mitrandir you are wizard, no guru has come before you to unleash the power of the ancient status bar. No one had the courage to fight the source of the mighty Hildon in the cave of Bora and resurrect the lost icons of matchbox ! Long live Mitrandir !

Mitrandir!!! One word - Genius!!!

That is a massive step forward. Can we have a quick deb knocked up so it can be tested.

I propose that once tested, that it is submitted for inclusion in any future community SSU. It is that big a deal.

Oh, my great sires, it was not too hard. I just travelled to the far far away land to the Keeper of the ancient treasures of Repository and he had challenged me with the riddles. After the final riddle he gave to me the Golden Chest with TAR.GZ letters engraved on it. Then he pointed me to the Most High Mountain of SDK, which stands on the VMWare island, saying that on this only mountain the Prophecy shall come true. On the top of the Mountain i had called to the ancient spirit of Scratchbox The Almighty and for three days and three nights i was meditating on the ancient scrolls which were hidden in the Golden Chest for many years. And after this i had casted the powerful Spell of DPKG-BuildPackage and the Army of Souls of Brave Hackers appeared in front of me and the GCC The Wise gave me the Golden Key named DEB. And with this key i had unleached the ancient power of Statusbar which was captured in the cave of Bora by the mighty Hildon...

(sorry for my english guys )
