Comment(by thomaswamm):

 I have seen the useless grey dot quite often; I think it is left behind
 only after a Firefox crash, not after a normal exit. But I could be wrong.
 Try ctrl-alt-erase to restart only Sugar (not the Linux kernel). But that
 will kill all running activities as well as killing the grey dots.

 Try alt-tab for cycling thru running activities, if there are too many
 grey dots to choose from.  It would be nice if multiple identical activity
 icons (or clipboard objects) could be distinguished with unique labels
 (maybe numbers) or colors.

 Can anyone prepare a proper icon for Firefox activity?  The Sugarization
 of Firefox needs improving, if it is intended for a mass release.  But I
 certainly like Firefox-6, despite its remaining bugs.
