Remove extra messaging notification

[pknyo]

In all the both the droidmod and cyanogenmod roms there's an extra white notification icon, every time I get a messgase. Its getting kind of annoying, does anyone know what is causing this, and how I can remove it? I'm thinking changing the name of the file that is causing it, but then again it might be tied to the system resource required to receive sms. I could disable notifications in the messaging app, but I like the look of the standard eclair messaging icon better, and if its not required I might free up some resources.
