Nah, there are a lot of notifications icons that COULD appear, most
don't unless they have something interesting to say.  For example (not
sure if the GNOMEs have defeatured it but it is there on 2 because it
happened to me) if a drive is failing a SMART monitor tool will pop an
icon into the system tray.  Having it always there to say your drive is
ok would not be useful.

I have my power icon set to only appear if power is coming or going from
the battery, same for the UPS's system tray icon.  And there is always
the icon that appears daily to let ya know you need to run update
again.  :)

Really haven't though about what would happen if the system tray
overflowed.  Would it do like Windows and resort to a popup with more
icons or like Android and slide?
