DBus statusnotifier (aka systray) daemon/bridge for GTk/XFCE environments?

Where did I miss this in the code? The createPlatformSystemTrayIcon() functions 
in qtbase/src/platformsupport/themes/genericunix/qgenericunixthemes.cpp are 
pretty clear: they return NULL unless isDBusTrayAvailable() returns true.

In fact, any Qt application that tries to put up a systray icon. At least when 
the plasma-integration plugin is installed.

I did find a solution though, ultimately:
https://github.com/equeim/snw-plugin

Which is just about exactly what I asked for :)

Hope this helps others,

R.

PS: Ah, when I move the platform integration plugin aside I indeed get a systray 
icon. Hmmm...
