Public bug reported:
The libappindicator API is missing the ability to set an application
indicator's icon via a pixbuf. This feature would be required for the
AllTray application to successfully be ported to the AppIndicator API in
addition to the System Tray Specification API (by way of GtkStatusIcon).
The reason that this type of API is needed is because many graphical
applications set their icons from resources either embedded into their
executables, or in an application-specific resources directory; some may
even be applications that are not installed on the system (think
"portable applications"). Because of this, AllTray uses libwnck to pull
the application's actual in-use icon from the X11 properties on the
window that are set for the window manager, and it in turn displays that
icon in the system tray (updating it, if necessary, based on signals
received from libwnck).
