Hello! I have been using Calibre to download various newspapers and magazines that I read and then automatically email them to my kindle. Beautiful feature!

Today I decided that instead of running calibre once a day to get all this done, I would just keep it running all the time. I won't even have to bother with it unless I am adding a book to my bloated collection

Unfortunately, the --start-in-tray option is not working. When it launches I get a blank window until I quit calibre and manually launch it. I have attached a screenshot of what this looks like after a clean boot (or a launch using the same options from the terminal).
Note: I am on a Linux Ubuntu 10.04 system using Gnome as my desktop environment on an HP dv7t quad edition computer with an x64 processor.
