another thing slightly related that came to my mind...
would be cool some applets like the battery one or the notifications
to be inserted in the layout internal of the systemtray, their purpose is 
really near to what the systemtray is used for, so maybe it's bad to show the 
difference of implementation to the user, that really shouldn't care

just random idea :)
