I've tested Steam with Plasma 5 on my Arch and Gentoo installs. The icon sits
dumbly there (in the systemtray) but does not respond to any mouse clicks. It's
important to note that Plasma 5 compiled with legacy tray support - will
attempt to embed the tray icon in an existing displayed system tray... That is
what I'm talking about! I.e. a Plasma 5 setup with legacy systemtray support
compiled in and enabled, and a Plasma systemtray plasmoid active in the panel
(old skool style).

Occasionally embedding fails on my system - then I also get a functional Wine
system tray floating about somewhere on the screen... That's some kind of
obscure xembed timing bug as far as I can tell... That is not what I am talking
about!

It's alright - I've figured out and resolved this issue (with a minor tweak to
your patch).  I'd stupidly disabled all non systray WINEDEBUG channels - in my
posted log. Basically Dbus returned a response that about a non-UTF8 string
(which I'd excluded from the log!!)

So I was perpetually downloading a big update for Sleeping Dogs TM - where the
TM symbol is a UTF-8 code. This symbol broke your original patch
WideCharToMultiByte() call(s). As soon as this download started the Steam
systray icon was kicked off Dbus! Converting the toot tip title string to UTF8
appear to resolve that issue (correctly??) and displays the TM symbol as
expected.

I'd actually moved on to poking about to see if I can improve other areas of
functionality... I think that selecting items in the Steam context menu should
also unminimise the main Steam window... Because Steam minimises to the system
tray - leaving the panel icon as a useless place holder that doesn't really
work properly.

Thoughts? :-)
