What you posted works for me too, with stalonetray or trayer (not actual
gnome).

You probably should flush to ensure requests from the icon change go
out; I think (after the main_iterations),

    $icon->get_screen->get_display->flush;

If there's negotiation like Quentin said then in the worst case you
might have to ->sync then main_iterate, possibly repeating until a sync
doesn't make any new events pending (and maybe watching out for an
infinite loop) ... but I'd be surprised if that was needed.
