Awesome systray is not showing all icons, perhaps overlapping widgets?

Question

I have a problem with my Awesome configuration that results in some of the icons being missing or partially missing from my systray. I suspect this is because of some overlapping, since they are partially hidden. You can see the problem in the top right corner.

Answer 1

First of all, did you check the wiki and forums? We'll help you, but you have to try to fix it yourself first.
You will need to provide more info if you want help.
Did you set up Gnome to force fallback mode?
Did you look at the Gnome wiki article? There's a few sections that sound like what your looking to do, but the examples are USING OTHER WM's. They still might be able to point you in the right direction.
