Before diving too deep into the code of (now) gtkstatusicon.c I've tried
it on Linux - but it does not work there, too. What am I supposed to
update so see any effect of ./teststatusicon ? (I'm running gnome-2.10.2
on gentoo with xorg-x11-6.8.2)

I've just checked in a dummy implementation for gtktrayicon-win32.c to
make gtk+-2.9 compile again. To make a working implementation for win32
the missing pieces are :

- get rid of the GtkPlug inheritance - maybe even in gtktrayicon.h ?
- convert the icon/pixbuf to a HICON. There is code to do that in
  _gdk_win32_pixbuf_to_hicon()
- define a gtk signal to be emitted when the user clicks on the trayicon
- ...

Thanks,
