I get where you're coming from, but to me personally, itray now works 
perfectly :) well, ok, I have to admit having one issue; e restarts kill 
off my apps, but that's a really minor problem currently :)

I do agree, systray could be done better, but it's not easy to do so 
properly, without breaking all kind of apps :/

I suppose if someone took the time to design a "perfect" protocol, and 
wrote up patches for some of the more popular software (like gaim) we 
might be able to get somewhere.. but, that's in no way my decision :)
