How? I took another look and couldn't see any way for it to escape, but
I could well have missed one. Or do you mean more generally?

Well yes, I know. Long term we need to remove the KDE stuff too so when
an XEMBED tray is not detected, we can fall back to a "wine system
tray". But, this is quite a large project, and currently many users have
broken system tray support so it'd be nice for this to go in for now.
Maybe I can get around to moving it into a separate process (wineshell?)
some day, but not in the next few months, that's for sure.
