Vidalia icon is sometimes not visible or hidden in the notification area

Originally created by @intrigeri on #10807 (Redmine)

This is on 2.0~beta1.

Vidalia is running:

… but I can’t see its icon anywhere.

The logs say:

Running sudo restart-vidalia gives me a Vidalia whose icon is visible… but in the notification area (bottom):
