 QCString screenstr;
 screenstr.setNum(qt_xscreen());
 QCString trayatom = "_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_S" + screenstr;
 bool is_systray = ( KSelectionWatcher( trayatom ).owner() != None );

 This will find out if there is systray which can handle the fd.o systray 
spec, which is at least the Kicker on and the GNOME one. This doesn't help 
much though, as I don't know how to get the position of the systray; at least 
I don't know any other way than patching Kicker and ignoring the others.
