That's exactly what the new systemtray spec does. :) Unfortunately application 
have to start using this spec, and we'll still have legacy systray icons for a 
while. Pitty, but nothing we can do about that. In the old spec, systray icons 
are basically just windows, and there is no form of communication between the 
icons and the systemtray.
