welcome to the systray. =(

it would be cool to popup this up at the edge of the panel, right? well, we 
can't. the popup originates in the XEMBEDed widget. so it doesn't know where 
it is. we could guess at it by seeing which edge it is closest to[1], but we 
still wouldn't know how far away to put it since we don't know where the edge 
of the panel is.

of course, if the systray icons were not XEMBEDed we could do this quite 
easily.

maybe people will start to understand why i dislike XEMBED in the panel so 
much >:-|

[1] though this will break once i allow for floating panels that aren't 
attached to a screen edge. the support code is already there for this, the 
panel just don't have a facility to "undock". after 3.4, though .....
