Just a quick question. Are there any modern WMs that do not support the KDE 
docking. QSystemTrayIcon is using the freedesktop.org standard, right? If it 
is, I think we can just not worry about the larger dock icon.

If a user is running a WM that doesn not have the dock icon support, but they 
are using Qt4, I think it is safe to say they don't care about dock icons. As 
you said above, WindowsMaker and IceWM support it. I know that fluxbox does, 
and I imagine blackbox does as well. Gnome and KDE are a given... so the 
question is, do we really care?

Or just go with #1 and drop the current wharf code, as it does a lot of low 
level X calls that we shouldn't really need anymore.
