 Don't bother. Icons not being docked were due to a race condition between 
KWin and QXEmbed after recent QXEmbed fixes (race condition in the KDE "spec" 
for it), that's been already worked around. Icons lost after kicker crash/
restart are due to some QXEmbed changes that should have been done only for 
the XPLAIN case (java,nsplugins). That's being worked on (http://
lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=106752026501968&w=2).

 As for _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY, Aaron has plans for systray changes, so it looks 
like we'll consider _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY obsolete even before we really start 
using it.
