You might want to look at the code Kopete uses for it's message bubble. I know 
mETz went to HUGE effort to make that work at all possible locations of the 
tray, including multiple desktop configurations.

The relevant code is in kdenetwork/kopete/kopete/kopeteballoon.cpp in 
updateMask.

Basically Kopete makes the balloon and calls 
m_balloon->setAnchor( systemTray->mapToGlobal(systemTray->pos())), with 
systemTray being the KSystemTray pointer, and the setAnchor code inside 
KopeteBalloon doing the magic.
