Blank squares on Taskbar

[Slasher]

I always keep getting these anoying bloodey blank white squares on my W98SE taskbar, especialy after using Kodakimg, Adobe, or Windows Media Player.

When I close these programs the squares stay there blank. If I poke each square with a left-click they usualy disapear, but lately I get one that just wont bugger off unless I reboot.

Does anyone else have the same thing?

Anyone know what are these residual sqaures?

Any way to prevent these squares from forming/remaining?

Is a square that refuses to disapear using up valuable memory?

Is it a big deal?

Thanks for any help/advice.
