Well, it might be a bit intrusive (so it probably ought to be
implemented upstream to begub with), but wouldn't it be possible to
have the application provide a slot to hide/unhide the tray on a
session limited basis.

So. Kopete starts, indidcator plugin starts, plugin connects to
applet, plugin emits signal to hide tray, kopete nukes tray. User
quits Kopete, user removes indicator applet. User starts Kopete again,
indicator plugin starts, plugin tries to connect to applet but fails,
tray remains visible, end of story.

Possibly using dbus instead of QSignals? Of course the app ultimately
represents this state in its config (some info message underneath the
tray icon setting stating that the config was overriden by $plugin).

...

Of course, as always, one could build a whole framework for that ...
like say let the user override the override and prevent $plugin from
ever hiding the tray again... not particularly worth the affort though
;)
