well, I have no clue about Qt, and I am using the standard awesome with
no special addons that I am aware of - just as it comes with buster,
plus a memory/cpu/battery widget. Every other program, like eg.
pavucontrol, screengrab, nm-applet, vlc, radiotray, redshift-gtk etc.,
has no problems adding itself to the tray. The systray is, to the best
of my very limited knowledge, a builtin feature of awesome. You have it
if you just install awesome.

Now what...


Cheers,
Toni
