sounds hardly acceptable for a distribution like ubuntu.  You cannot
break all java apps just because

"There are no plans for Java. I personally do not have Java installed as
I consider it as a huge security risk for any desktop system."

Please note that statements like this would be barely acceptable for a hobbyist 
OS and risk disqualifying the whole distribution.
It is just weird to have kernel developers working for not breaking userspace 
and then having the desktop environment breaking
legacy applications all the time. 

And no, wmsystemtray is not a decent workaround, since it is not usable
as a widget on a panel.
