we would either compromise on the intended experience, or provide a

what we try to achieve, so it makes sense to not use it.
How is the current experience any better? Both kdelibs and libappindicator
fall back to the legacy XEmbed system tray spec if the desktop does not
implement the status notifier spec, so the icons will not only be hidden
(due to your bad UI design), but also look crappy. (The status notifier spec
was written for a reason, XEmbed is just a horrible way to implement this
feature.)
