I'm not sure it makes any sense to do this: the system tray code is on my
hit list for things to rewrite. It's already been mostly done, the work
remaining is moving the code into a separate process then using the
messages to poke wineshell.

System tray in desktop mode is tricky anyway because we have no
explorer/shell program - so where do they get put?

I wrote this for ROS Explorer and tested it running the WIN32 executable
with the patched Wine. IMHO this is the only way to get system tray
working in a MS/ROS/whatever Explorer GUI launched by Wine:
You configure Explorer for desktop mode and pass the shell notification
messages to the registered window procedure in Explorer.

shell32 should not need to know anything about desktop mode.

Then I don't see how you want to be able to handle shell applications
like Explorer and enable the systray icons in them.

Well, let's see how far Mike's upcoming rewritten systray can handle this.
I may have a look in the new code, and see if I it's possible to do it
without knowing about the desktop mode.
