## Description

This allows applets or other extensions to replace an app's legacy tray icon. For instance, the default network applet registers itself to replace network- manager's tray icon.

Tray icons typically show up in .xsession-errors as: ... Adding systray: evolution-alarm-notify (48x48px) ... If you wrote an applet to replace the alarm tray icon, you would register here with the name 'evolution-alarm-notify' and the uuid of your applet. As a result, if your applet is loaded, the tray icon would be removed.

Accessible at runtime as Main.systrayManager.
