you don't know just by looking - or well "it depends". i recently fixed a bunch
of apps to work with e's systray indicator protocol. i noticed some apps were
being "stupid" and giving /path/to/but instead of org.whatever.blah as the
bus name - so i added a workaround to detect them being stupid and made it
work. some were providing unusual setups for finding icons so we couldnt find
them - fixed it in git (will then be in 0.24 soon). i also added debug logs to
tell you what e sees from indicator protocol apps 9if it sees anything from
them) so your logs will have SYSTRAY: something ... lines in them to give you
that info to see what stuff the apps are handing to e.

they have to support indicator protocol- they need to be built with it or
support it somehow. i think for qt apps there is some sni appindicator thing
that forces them to use the new protocol instead of xmbed. i don't know for gtk.
