a qml based systray will be very useful indeed!

however i think in this case will have to be mixed with c++, so reusing part 
of the code of the old one, for two things:
* embedding applets (plasmoidtaskprotocol)
* and for the legacy xembed based systray icons, that should continue to be 
supported while we are still on X11 (killing it with joy when we'll move to 
wayland ;)

so i think you should basically take the current c++ systray, strip it from 
all the ui code, then start to embed a qml ui in it

Cheers,
Marco Martin
