The question is whether we really need a tag as technical as this
systray-host tag.
There are tons of apps that work in the Gnome systray, and I'd assume
they also work in the KDE systray...
I think x11::systray is appropriate (compare it to x11:applet!)

Actually it is very close to what we call x11::applet currently.

And yes, there are tons of applications where it's applicable.

Pretty much any app that goes to your systray and is not added via
Gnomes "add applet" dialog.

best regards,
Erich Schubert
