XToolkit.isTraySupported() result has nothing to do with the system tray

[dep, 13Jun2006]

  Instead of determining if the system tray is supported,
  isTraySupported() derives its result from the name of the window
  manager. Specifically, it returns true only if the window manager is
  named "Metacity" or "KWin". Not only is there no requirement that
  the window manager be the entity providing the system tray, at least
  in the case of Metacity, it really doesn't. This means:
  
    If I use Gnome (complete with panel, which supplies the system
    tray) but with an alternate window manager, SystemTray.isSupported()
    returns false and I can't use the system tray.
  
    If I use Metacity in an environment where there is no system tray
    (e.g. outside of Gnome), SystemTray.isSupported() will incorrectly
    return true.

  More generally, if I have a fully functional system tray but am not
  running one of the above window managers, I can't access it.

  This test should be based on the presence of a tray which follows the
  System Tray Protocol Specification, not random other factors.
