Please provide any additional information below.
This error occurs while I have the addon TellMeWhen 4.0.0 beta 8 enabled. I've informed the author of that addon as well,.

Also for the sake of brevity I only listed the first 10 frames in the list but a lot more appear in the error message.

    It sounds like this was fixed in TMW, but I'm not sure that I'm 100% happy with the solution. KongConfig expects the return value from tostring() to be a unique value for every frame, and it could be possible that more than one of the TMW icons return the same empty string "".

    I'm going to leave this ticket open until I've added protection against the problem in Kong.

    This is definitely related to the metamethod that I added in the latest version:

     __tostring = function(icon)
	return icon:GetName()
end

    I'll change it in the next version to:

     __tostring = function(icon)
	return icon:GetName() or ""
end

    but I think that there could be other addons out there that could cause this error as well (although I really don't understand why this error is occuring, because TMW icons are always created with a name.)
