+With the trayicon plugin, Sylpheed-claws will display an icon in the system
+tray.  The desktop environment must be compatible with the system tray
+protocol specification from http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/.  GNOME 2
+and KDE 3.1.1 are known to follow it.
+
+You must manually load the plugin through Configuration/Plugins.
