*nods* the tray icon does not even pretend to interact with gnome's session 
management.

when gnome2 came out, the applet api changed to require applets very tightly 
interact with gnome. Gaim has never done that, and we did not want to code 
that now. as a result, the applet was discontinued, the gnome code was 
stripped out, and the docklet, which is not gnome specific, was introduced. at 
some point session management code might be introduced, either as a plugin or 
as part of the core functionality, but it will also be agnostic to the 
environment.
