Panel Applet Icon Groupings

Hi, I recently removed the klipper applet from my panel. When I realized that this shutdown the klipper application entirely and the scripts I use to manipulate the clipboard stopped working, I decided to restart the klipper applet. However, now it's in its own section of the panel and I cannot seem to get it to merge into or reside within the existing panel section that holds all the other applet and application icons (not the taskbar, things like the Gaim and KSetiSpy icons). Does anyone know how I can get the klipper icon into the other icon section? Thanks. Randall Schulz
