It's not there today, but if people are really interested I can throw together
a patch to the parser lexx/yacc to add a "TrayIcon xxxx" line and add
the usual support for "iconfile.dll,n" where n=icon ID (ie. "shell32.dll,5"
gives the floppy drive icon).  A default icon can be specified for X apps,
but again it's only for .ico files and can't index into, say, XWin.exe...
