I guess the point is to get something working and doing what you intend it
to do. Whether it works under Linux or Windows, is a matter of the
programmer's judgement, goals, personal preferences etc - therefore it is
not a subject for this list.

Alex, muine uses a C library to integrate with the systray, it's called
libegg. To my best knowledge, this is currently the only way to get it done
(C/C++ programs use it as well). Of course, you are free to implement a
managed implementation of the systray protocol as per the specs - that would
probably require you to use p/invoke to access the X11 API, though.
The egg library in the muine sources can be found in libmuine/egg/
