QSystemTrayIcon uses XEmbed which is bad by definition ;-)

We have discussed this in the plasma team and think that the best solution 
would be to extend QSystemTrayIcon to use the status notifier API if available. 
Might need some hooks into the QPA as we probably cannot depend on D-Bus on 
that level. But as that doesn't exist yet, at the moment the proper suggestion 
should be to use KStatusNotifierItem.
