That was a users fault - now I know how to activate the 'notification area' ;)

Setting the tray icon and routing the clicks does work now on win32 - without
any change in gtkstatusicon.c. The only missing piece is tooltip delegation.
And I'm not sure if it is possible to delegate to the standard gtk tooltip
handling. Any suggestions ?

BTW: I'd appreciate if somebody with a deeper understanding of gtk internals
could do a review of gtktrayicon-win32.c. Maybe what I've done is considered
too much of a hack ;-)

Thanks,
