snixembed - proxy the StatusNotifierItem protocol to the XEmbed System Tray

snixembed [--fork]

The snixembed daemon proxies StatusNotifierItems as XEmbedded System Tray icons.

Set up in the foreground, then fork to background process.

This can be used to avoid race conditions with applications that expect a StatusNotifierWatcher to be ready on startup. Start these applications only after snixembed --fork has completed.

Not all of the StatusNotifierItem specification is supported. Current support includes: mouse events, context menus, tooltips. There is also limited AppIndicator support.
