Yeah, I'm feeling that that's better behaviour now too.
Previously I was too much under influence of some writings how there
should be as few application icons in the tray as possible. But it
clearly is necessary for usbsink.

I actually should've tried harder find out what lies behind this.
It is actually just a matter of having a desktop entry in
~/.config/autostart. So yes, there will be a preference dialog in
the next release with a "start usbsink with desktop session" checkbox.

Also, (for the next release) I plan to add a D-Bus interface and
activation, which could be used by a Nautilus plugin, for instance.
