Dock icons and transparency

Hi guys.
On my desktop I have the Kicker bar transparent (I use KSmoothDock and Karamba). The "Sys Tray" part is down the right hand edge of the screen. Problem is some programs (eg Korn) display their icons ontop of a solid grey block which makes my dekstop look real ugly, having 4 or 5 grey blocks randomly splattered down the edge of the screen.

Is there anyway to force these apps to make their dock icon background transparent? I use Fedora too, and that has just a solid empty grey block there all the time - it displays keys if something uses the root password. That's annoying!

Thanks,
Phil.

PS - I have a screenshot if that will help to explain what it is I'm talking about.
