As far as I'm aware, Windows does not allow minimizing to tray icon geometry
Indeed it doesn't. That's up to the application to register a tray icon (or other similar system such as indicator, etc) and use that icon to interact with the user. It's pretty much the same in other graphic environments, in one form or another. Microsoft were just the first to call it a "tray".
My proposal doesn't change that, or the way it works. It simply adds information that lets the window manager know where these icons are, so that it can do an "open" or "close" animation to/from this icon when appropriate - for example, if you close your IM client and the process is still running and it has a tray icon. Or if a process that has a tray icon (such as your IM client) decides to suddenly pop up a window. In such cases, the "tray" icon, or "indicator" icon, "notify" icon, whatever you call it, if it exists, should be used instead of _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY. This is why i developed this solution.
