Another possibility is that your applications are starting to use the
Status Notifier Icon API. From my ~/.xinit file:
# iwgtk does Status Notifier Icon, but some system trays
# (*cough*, tint2, stalonetray, *cough*) don't, so we use
# snixembed instead
snixembed & sleep $delay
So maybe install snixembed from AUR[0]?
