If your icon theme thinks a square is a good way to represent the concept of 
a "circle", that's an issue you need to take up with your icon theme author. 
;-D The fact that if you ask for an icon named "circle", you should get a 
visualization which conveys the concept of a circle (whether it is really an 
*icon* or something else, as long as it clearly conveys the *concept*) is 
both obvious and outside of the scope of the spec.

As for just discarding the icon without notice, that necessarily has to be 
allowed because the USER could have asked for that. The user could even have 
deleted the system tray widget entirely, or placed it somewhere hidden. 
(Outside of the GNOME world, software tends to actually listen to its 
users!) Now if the implementation ALWAYS just discards the icon and ignores 
both the application's and the user's requests, that would indeed suck as an 
implementation, but again, that's obvious! (Why would you implement the spec 
in the first place if you discard all the data you get? OF COURSE you're 
expected to provide the data to the user one way or the other unless the 
user explicitly asked you not to.)
