This remark from upstream is unfortunately not true anymore, GtkStatusIcon 
does NOT work under KDE Plasma 5.

And for good reason: It supports only an obsolete protocol that some desktop 
environments phased out (reportedly, Unity also no longer supports it) and 
that will be entirely unusable under Wayland by design.

That said, it is sad that they just deprecated it instead of either adding 
support for the new protocol to the existing classes or merging the 
libappindicator classes as a replacement.

So this is another good reason to move off GtkStatusIcon (even if you don't 
care whether your application works under KDE Plasma).
