Well, to workaround the issue mentioned in [1] it's possible to
implement a plasma widget which reserves some space with
QtQuick and then creates borderless window for a legacy tray on top of
reserved space. Not a beautiful solution, but it's a way to go. And
it's possible to drop this widget as soon as all apps are ported to
Status Notifier.
