What's this about dropping the systray specification? Why did they do
this?

I like the fact that I can run a Gtk app and have its systray icon show
up on my KDE panel. I have one there now. (Only problem is that the
icon will occasionally disappear mysteriously and I have to toggle it in
the app settings to get it back.)

They dropped a proposed new systray spec, and it was vetoed. The old one
remains.

Actually, I proposed that the current systemtray spec be included in the
fd.o platform, and it was vetoed on the basis that a new one should be
developed which was less painful.
