Thanks for the complement . I just needs a bit of time to hack around
the quirks in all the zillion tray implementations.

We will know in the feature, fact is that gui4 contains 80% of unused
(by the plugins/core) code after the wnck merge, so it would be pretty
stupid if we leave it there if you'd ask me. Deprecation is useful for
libraries like gtk/glib etc, but not for a tiny lib that is used
inside Xfce.
