Summary: Program-defined tray icons handled incorrectly

Initial Comment:
I have a utility which minimizes itself into the tray, where a right click on the icon activates a popup menu. In principle, this works fine, but it seems to collide with tray icons generated by icewm.
I tried to prevent  the icon from appearing twice in the taskbar by putting "foo.tray: Exclusive" in my winoptions file. This causes a second tray (or whatever) to appear to the left of the original one, containing the window icon. A left click on it has the these effects:

1. The original window is restored. The additional icon stays in the tray.
2. The tray icon installed by the program disappears and never comes back (in this session).
3. Restarting icewm by "killall -HUP icewm" doesn't help. Instead, a small, black, empty windows appears on the screen. Xprop reports:
    WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW

Similar things happen if winoptions contains "foo.tray: Ignore" and 'Tray Icon' is selected in the window menu.

I'm using icewm-1.3.3. Attached is a shot containing the right end of the taskbar.

Regards,
Bernd

Message:
In general, icewm tray icons and application tray icons are completely
distinct. If the application itself handles the tray docking, it's best to
leave everything to it and not mess with icewm tray icon settings (they
will not be in any way synchronized).
