The legacy tray icons will work in cases where SNI won't, so breaking that 
fallback is wrong in my opinion, but I agree it is better than the alternative.

Anyhow, this is a mess and the interdependencies on behaviour is bad. IMHO it 
should be "fixed" in both places, the plasma-integration plugin shouldn't rely 
on some shaky string magic logic in KSNI not to hang applications.

So if the only objection to this patch is that some applications a) under X11 
get a legacy tray icon instead of a SNI one if started too early instead of 
hanging, b) under Wayland might not get a tray icon at all instead of just 
hanging if started too early, I think this should go in.
