Hello Bill, It seems that the 'docker' package is indeed in a similar situation as 'alltray'. Its menu file indicates its section as 'Applications/Viewers', which, IMO, does not seem to fit right. The 'stalonetray' application, "a freedesktop.org and KDE systray implementation", seems to be in a similar case too? Its menu file indicates 'Applications/System/Administration'. I am not sure that this could be relevant (as the package is not yet in Debian), but I was about [1] to package Kdocker [2] that fits the description. It is very similar to alltray, with some added features. It use the qt libraries, but works perfectly under gnome.
