Except that the tray icon isn't related to the Dock icon on OS X ... It shows 
up in the menubar and is much too small to add a sensible progressbar to it.

As Kevin said, there's something in Unity that could be used (cf 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127050), but closer to home you can also find 
a progressbar via the KNotifications systray icon/menu. At least there's one in 
KDE4 showing the progress of certain file copy operations. Whether it's useful 
to have such a display in a GUI element that you have to expose explicitly is a 
bit of a question; if the application providing the progress info has a 
progressbar of its own (like Creator) you could just as well expose or switch 
to that application.

Yeah, but without a proper MSWin dev rig I'm not going to propose anything to 
provide it via an upstream patch/class ;)
