Supporting unity appindicator is possible. We did it in lxde in the past. Unity provides a lib for it, so technically we can create a panel plugin for appindicator. But I don't think its priority is lower than other more important tasks ATM. > razor-qt/lxde could come up with its own API that supports the protocol and > KDE's or unity's tray applications would just work in razor-qt's panel.Its a > shame gnome-shell went their own way.Implementing the protocol will give the > plug in architecture a say on how applet's are presented to the user and > this will give a pleasant applet consistency.I believe is one of the core > reasons of moving away from XEmbed. > > Also,any plans to have kwallet/gnome-keyring type of functionality? Yes, it's in my long long TODO list. Actually before the merge of razor and lxde happens, I studies this a bit. > I googled a bit and nobody else seem to be providing the feature.

Historically, KWallet and gnome-keyring developers discussed on xdg mailing list to see if they can use a common dbus interface so they can be compatible. The effort was in vain and the proposal failed. No further improvement in this area since then. Regarding to the C lib, libgcr provided by gnome actually has the potential to be that kind of lib. It separated gtk+ and non-GUI parts deliberately in their source tree. So technically it's possible to port it to Qt as well. The problem is, the UI part is very gtk+ centric and that part is large. Porting is possible, but this will take some time so cannot be done now.
