This bug happens always when an application has an animated icon. Like The Bat mail client. I mean if an application is redrawing it's icon in the taskbar - this will damage X server and the system. It will lock it down eventually. (it will hang)
How long does it generally take? Do you notice the resource consumption quickly in the system monitor?
... This problem will happen with any similar application which has an animated icon. Not cursor. Let me know if you need to know anything else.
Ah, sorry. In most of Windows animated cursors and icons are essentially identical, there's just a flag that says "this is an icon" and that's all that makes them different. However, that is not the case with the system tray icons - these icons are really a series of static icons that the application must manually select in order to make the icon animate.
