 The status icons probably need to stay where they are because they're
 themeable (using something different from XDG themes.) Technically, the
 rest of the stock icons are also themeable, but there is no UI for doing
 such a thing, so I don't feel like it's a problem to move the tray icons
 only. I'm going to move just the tray icons and fix the stock lookup to
 find them in the new place.

 to be updated with the blue-tinted message box and new orb.

 They just look ugly. They're there, but in the old style.
