I now added Win32 specific bits to gtkstatusicon.c (i.e. what used to
be gtkstatusicon-x11.c when the above was written). Seems to work fine
now on Win32.

It turns out gtkstatusicon.c needed ifdefs spread out here and there,
though, so the code does not look very elegant currently. What do you
think, should I try to move the backend-specific snippets to separate
functions so that the mass of the code would be ifdef-free, with only
two backend-specific blocks? (I think keeping the backend-specific
parts in the same file would be cleaner that splitting the
backend-specific parts out to separate files, as done in
gtkplug/socket. In retrospect, that was perhaps not such a good idea,
it made the code more complex and harder to read than necessary.)
