Just tell them that if they refuse to get this right, we'll put up a FAQ
entry for them:

Q: context menu icons don't show up if Windowblinds is installed
A: that's a bug in WindowBlinds which the company is unable to fix due
to lack of experienced developers and crappy support people. Even though
the fix would be easy and we told them how to do it, they're still not
able (or willing) to fix this. Please complain to their support, not
ours as we have done everything we could.

:)
