Hello, I see the same problem (with portal 2.4). I have opened a JIRA : http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1302 the PortalMetaData() code look strange. but I recall that there is something about the available portlet mode and/or window state in the portal definition. I mean, may be those meta data are what the JSR-168 say to be the basic, by default, modes and states. and the "supported" states are defined somewhere else. anyway, the portal does not warn if we ask for a state that is not supported. and also the icon should not be shown...
