Gtk2::TrayIcon - which is a wrapper around EggTrayIcon - is not portable
on win32; in any case...

... Gtk2::TrayIcon is not meant to be used anymore. use a new Gtk2
module compiled against gtk+ >= 2.10 and Gtk2::StatusIcon, which is
portable and does not require another dependency.

beware that Gtk2::TrayIcon and Gtk2::StatusIcon are *not* 1:1
equivalent, exactly because StatusIcon is meant to be portable across
different platforms.
