    /**
     *  KDE System Tray Window class
     *
     * This class implements system tray windows.
     *
     * A tray window is a small window (typically 24x24 pixel) that docks
     * into the system tray in the desktop panel. It usually displays an
     * icon or an animated icon there. The icon serves as representative
     * for the application, similar to a taskbar button, but consumes less
     * screen space.
     *
     * When the user clicks with the left mouse button on the icon, the
     * main application window is shown/raised and activated. With the
     * right mouse button, she gets a popupmenu with application specific
     * commands, including "Minimize/Restore" and "Quit".
     *
     * Docking happens magically when calling show(). The window undocks
     * with either hide() or when it is destroyed.
     *
     * KSystemTray inherits methods such as @ref setPixmap() and @ref setMovie() to
     * specify an icon or movie (animated icon) respectively. It is
     * designed to be usable "as is", without the need to subclass it. In
     * case you need to provide something special (such as an additional
     * popupmenu on a click with the left mouse button), you can subclass
     * anyway, of course.
     *
     * Having an icon on the system tray is a useful technique for
     * daemon-like applications that may run for some time without user
     * interaction but have to be there immediately when the user needs
     * them. Examples are kppp, kisdn, kscd, kmix or knotes. With kppp and
     * kisdn, the docked icon even provides real-time information about
     * the network status.
