The issue is not political. We have a fine replacement for the system tray, 
and we have (maybe) a technical problem supporting the old one. I'll give the 
QWindow solution a try, so we'll see how far we can get with that. We don't 
really need much of it, except painting its contents on a QQuickItem, and 
given we're not the only ones doing a desktop in Qt5, there's a chance we 
succeed with that. :)

The system tray is quite a lot of work to port, so you'll hear from me again 
once I'm making progress in that specific area.

For now, we'll not pour the baby out with the bathwater.

Thanks for the valuable input, everybody.

Cheers,
