<AWT Dev> [RFC] Tray icons for applications are not displayed in the GNOME notification bar.

[Danesh Dadachanji]

Hi,

There's a bug[1] with java tray icons and the new gnome-shell, the icon 
is no longer displayed. GNOME has adapted an additional spec[2] from the 
freedesktop standards for its notification bar (system tray). It now 
requires the XAtom _NET_WM_PID to be set, which in turn needs 
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE. If they aren't then things don't go smoothly and the 
bar won't show the icon/embedded frame.

The following webrev fixes the bug:

This bug is also in jdk6 and 7 as well FWIW.

I would appreciate any comments!

Regards,
Danesh
