For the record, you are better off asking gtk+ related questions
on the gtk+ lists (gtk-app-devel-list at gnome.org), someone will
surely know the answer there ;-)

The system tray is the toolbar portion where you see icons of
running apps such as gaim, skype etc ? in which case in your
shoes I'd be looking through gaim source code, but I'll bet theres
something in the general gtk+ documentation (I'm sure its
some breed of ipc message to the window manager via the
X server).

Cheers,
