.mac sync icon in menu bar after 10.5.3?

It was a really nice update. It fixed all my problems with Spaces that drove me nuts and it seems that it also fixed a wake-from-sleep issue where OpenGL ***** everything up along with Parallels.

After applying the update, the .mac icon with the recycle arrows all of a sudden appeared. How the heck do I remove it? I don't want the menu bar to get cluttered with apps I don't use and this is not a nice way to persuade me to buy the darn thing.
 
No, it's .mac. It happens every update on my PB G4, doesn't happen on any other computer, though. Weird, since I do not use .mac at all and all my computers are set up in exactly the same way.

Just open the .mac preferences in and uncheck "show status".

It was not. Wow. I had no idea you could drag off icons that way and I have been a pro mac user for more than 3 years ^_^

There's no way to uncheck status in my preferences but the magic cmd + click to drag it of worked 😀
Now if this would only work with non-apple apps also... 🙄
