right, see also http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164445 and iirc it's the 
reason why we have the QTimer-hack in there which does prevent to create the 
systray + ask X for the trayicons 2 times what in turn fixed icons not 
appearing (but since increasing the timeout doesn't seem to fix it, it looks 
unrelated, hmpf).
