But would adding it to Pivot add anything? The windowing toolkit part of Pivot was created to satisfy deficiencies in AWT/Swing. The collections interfaces were created to satisfy deficiencies in the JDK collections. Conversely, we decided not to add any Pivot-specific preferences API because it already exists in the JDK, and there are no problem with it (I've used it, and it's brain-dead simple). Is there a deficiency in the system tray API that you're trying to solve? If not, then there's no real reason to touch it in the platform.
