**What steps will reproduce the problem?**
1. select *display message count* in the Mail preferences
2. select *display newmail icon* (or *display custom icon*)
3. select *display message count* again

**What is the expected output? What do you see instead?**
The message count is displayed in the tray icon, but with a wrong size:
Switching *newmail icon* -> *unread message count* => icon (16x16) isn't up-scaled
Switching *custom icon* -> *unread message count* => icon too large (32x32) isn't down-scaled

**What version of the extension (FireTray) are you using?**
v0.4.0b2

**What application (Firefox, Thunderbird, ...) and which version are you using?**
Thunderbird 9.0 (amd64 build) from mozilla-team's Ubuntu PPA
Thunderbird 10.0 (x86) Ubuntu

**On what distribution, version and architecture (x86 vs amd64)?**
Ubuntu 11.04 (amd64) using kde 4.7.2
Ubuntu 11.10 x86 with KDE 4.7.

**Please provide any additional information below.**
