This remark from upstream is unfortunately not true anymore, GtkStatusIcon
does NOT work under KDE Plasma 5.

And for good reason: It supports only an obsolete protocol that some desktop
environments phased out (reportedly, Unity also no longer supports it) and
that will be entirely unusable under Wayland by design.
That said, it is sad that they just deprecated it instead of either adding
support for the new protocol to the existing classes or merging the
libappindicator classes as a replacement.
Yeah, it applies to GTK+ 3:
[gtk+] docs: GtkStatusIcon is deprecated since 3.14, not 3.16
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-September/msg05639.html
So this is another good reason to move off GtkStatusIcon (even if you don't
care whether your application works under KDE Plasma).
