one can assign a shortcut to the icon itself in the systray config (recent 
addition)
it could become the only way to do that , or both could remain (in the case of 
menu appearing at mouse cursor position, it would have to be the app that 
renders the menu (as opposed to dbusmenu) so it would look a bit weird.

in any case, _even if there are still come bugs_, i would really, really, 
really like to see this patch going in before freeze, this, means 
today/tomorrow.
it's clear that won't be totally smooth, because the two protocols are 
different enough, that's it, but the alternative is no progress at all.
