If you want to make a difference, get involved in the specifications
that matter.  Most importantly -- _FILE BUGS_ against apps that break
the specification in Ubuntu.

Quote:
"From a UI standpoint, the system tray is normally used for transient
icons that indicate some special state, while full-blown "applets" are
used for permanent dock/panel features. For example, a system tray icon
might appear to tell the user that they have new mail, or have an
incoming instant message, or something along those lines."
