Description

By supporting the  freedesktop.org System Tray Protocol we allow applets using a  GtkStatusIcon to be used with Sugar.

For example it allows users to run nm-applet, the Gnome GUI to NetworkManager, to configure "advanced" network settings like VPNs that are currently unsupported by Sugar.

The lower edge of the frame would be a natural fit for the applet icons IMO.
