I have tried quitting the applications three different ways, all with
the same results.  1)  By clicking on the window manager 'X', 2) By
choosing File -> Quit from within the application, 3) By right
clicking on the system tray icon and choosing quit.  All methods leave
the same phantom icon in the system tray.

Is it possible that there is some external library that needs to be
updated along with 4.5?  If that is true would cmake let me know that
I'm missing a dependency?

Thanks for the reply,
James
