It is based on System Tray Protocol Specification :
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec-0.1.html
Now there is nothing in AfterSTep that has similar semantics at the
moment, but that sounds like a good idea for a new module. Do I see any
volunteers ?
Personally I shall try and debug KDE/GNOME panels/trays under AS and
that is as far as I will go due to huge backlog
