OSX - That Sametime icon is still there, and we don't even have it!

Way back in the Mac-only Beta, I and several other users complained that the Sametime icon is sat on our menu bar when we did not even have Sametime configured, as our installations don’t use it. New beta version, same problem. I don’t want the Sametime icon up there as we don’t use it.

A known issue that still hasn’t been fixed two years later? I’m up to 8.5.1FP1.
