System Trays On Different OSs

Note: This _problem_ is only present on Mac OSX, and not on Linux.
Also, this error pertains to the Windows System Tray. The system tray is
located in the Windows Taskbar, usually at the bottom right corner next to the
clock. It contains miniature icons for easy access to system functions such as
antivirus settings, printer, modem, sound volume, battery status, and more.
Hover over or click an icon to view and access details and controls. (On
windows.)

However, Linux has a System Tray as well, usually showing the same information.
Wine's integration with Linux allows for programs using the windows system tray
to appear on the system tray of the Linux system, essentially a perfect
integration.

The thing is, Mac OSX also has a System Tray, and it's not being utilized. (See
Problem.png) Instead of an applications system tray icon appearing in the Mac's
system tray, it makes itself a new window in XQuartz.app (as in X11.app).
