i'll echo what Frans said, namely that this is a good idea but we'll have to 
come back to it soon rather than right now. that said....

..... we need to address not only the interaction of the window and the 
systray, but also what systrays should look like, what kind of applications 
should provide them, what should be in their systray popup menus and 
interaction issues such as single vs double click and left vs middle vs right 
click.

i expect the systray to gain the ability to query the app as to its current 
status (active, not active, new information to show the user, etc)

then we should put AS MUCH of this as possible in the KSystemTray class and 
push those parts of the guidelines into the "Implemented in the Libraries as 
Policies" part of the HIG. =)
