Back when I first jumped ship from KDE, and found my way over to TDE, I did bring up this issue, but nobody seemed to have heard of the trick, whatever it was. For now, I just keep the "pkill ksystraycmd" command in a shell, so that I can hit return and kill it when the systray gets too cluttered with those ghost icons. If I can kill them with this command, however, yet the programs still keep working, then those ghost icons are not really essential, so I would like to suppress them altogether. I seem to recall that it was a line added to a bash script (maybe?), but when somebody gave me the line, I was still very new to Linux. I had not yet developed all my current squirrelly habits about keeping everything, no matter how trivial it might seem, until I am sure that I cannot reuse it somehow in a future configuration. Maybe I will need to do some reading about dbus, as what I know there is mostly to avoid it so that I don't mess up my stuff.
