Ahhh, that makes a bit of sense.  The systray is a "per screen"
entity.  If you use "old style" multihead, your X display is considered
to have multiple screens, and so if you want to do it this way, you'd
have to have a systray on each screen.  If you use Xinerama or XRandR
1.2 ("new style" multihead), then your physical screens are considered
just multiple monitors of a single X screen, and you don't have to
worry about these things. (Yes, this is ridiculously confusing and
retarded.)
