Hello people,

Maybe a stupid question about the StatusNotifier's:
Right now I find that it's not widely used, in Plasma-next we would
have StatusNotifiier's from KDE (like thw HW notifier or  battery) and
the one external
applications register (if skype & co. adapt statusnotifier), correct?

So which application would "own " the KDE StatusNotifier's? Are they standalone?
Is it required do run e.g plasma-shell so these StatusNotifier's are registered?
I've seen that external to kde apps have status notifier plugins like glx-dock,
will they only show the non-kde status-notfiers? Is there anything
more required than dbus to implement a statusNotifier tray?

Thanks very much in advance!
Damian
