Step 1 done a few times
Step 2 done a few times
At step 3 I noticed both packages (after doing 1 and 2 a few times :-)) were still there
Did a web search, found the linked page as in my previous post, did the advised there and managed to uninstall the openjdk packages. They no longer show in the package list.

Tried to start minimwatch, but again got the same error message for not being able to put the icon up.

Will send you the list.

Cheers, Rene

From this page:

Note to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric users: Unity does not support system tray defined by FreeDesktop, you will need to switch to standard Gnome Panel to use DavMail (and any other application using system tray)

This suggests that the problem might be related to using 11.10 with Unity. I'm using 10.04 and 12.04, which both work OK.
