A cross platform systray icon

Does anyone have some hints / tips / experience with making a cross
platform systray icon?  It should work on Windows, Gnome and KDE at
minimum.

I've seen the win32all code which is very similar to the C code I've
written before for Windows.  It would be a small irritation to have to
integrate its event loop with whichever GUI framework I'm using for
the rest of it though.

I don't know how to make a systray under KDE/Gnome though, but I think
freedesktop has made it a lot easier now.  I didn't manage to find a
python example - does anyone have one?

Ideally I'd like someone to tell me that PyQT, tkinter or PyGTK does
it all for me, but from my searching on the subject I doubt it is
going to be that easy!

Thanks
