/**
* KDE System Tray Window class
*
* This class implements system tray windows.
*
* A tray window is a small window (typically 24x24 pixel) that docks
* into the system tray in the desktop panel. It usually displays an
* icon or an animated icon there. The icon serves as representative
* for the application, similar to a taskbar button, but consumes less
* screen space.
*
* When the user clicks with the left mouse button on the icon, the
* main application window is shown/raised and activated. With the
* right mouse button, she gets a popupmenu with application specific
* commands, including "Minimize/Restore" and "Quit".
*
* Docking happens magically when calling show(). The window undocks
* with either hide() or when it is destroyed.
*
* KSystemTray inherits methods such as @ref setPixmap() and @ref setMovie() to
* specify an icon or movie (animated icon) respectively. It is
* designed to be usable "as is", without the need to subclass it. In
* case you need to provide something special (such as an additional
* popupmenu on a click with the left mouse button), you can subclass
* anyway, of course.
*
* Having an icon on the system tray is a useful technique for
* daemon-like applications that may run for some time without user
* interaction but have to be there immediately when the user needs
* them. Examples are kppp, kisdn, kscd, kmix or knotes. With kppp and
* kisdn, the docked icon even provides real-time information about
* the network status.

/**
* Construct a KSystemTray widget just like any other widget.

* The parent widget @p parent has a special meaning:
* Besides owning the tray window, the parent widget will
* dissappear from taskbars when it is iconified while the tray
* window is visible. This is the desired behaviour. After all,
* the tray window @p is the parent's taskbar icon.
*
* Furthermore, the parent widget is shown or raised respectively
* when the user clicks on the trray window with the left mouse
* button.
