i still not tried it, will do just a couple of suggestions..
* make sure that when in the systray is always hidden by default and show it 
only when something important occurs (with appropriate setStatus)
* don't put too much information/too much fine grained control of technical 
details of which the user wouldn't be really supposed to know

but in general, yeah, good job :)
