That probably happens because gPodder uses a tray icon if you minimize it, and the tray should not be used. The same thing happens with skype, and it would be nice to have a workaround, or even better, a solution, because with skype you can't even star a new instance, because it says that another skype instance is running, the only problem is that you can't access that instance.
