Is this a problem also for other Ubuntu derivatives like Kubuntu[1] and 
Edubuntu[2]?

[1] I assume KDE to use the normal tray spec too?

[2] Which AFAIK cares more about things working remotely and I think
the new indicator stuff works over D-BUS which at least by default uses
unix socket instead of X as transport...
