I have aol and I haven't seen a grey circle but I think it's similar to the flashing squares I get. So it is probably the symbol to tell you that you are connected.

If you hover your mouse pointer over the mysterious circle, it might tell you.

Failing that, clicking or right-clicking it ought to do something.


I was gonna suggest reading the documentation, but I just tried the website and it's crap. However, there was something about a new version of AIM, so could your circle be some kind of notification of that?
