Tim, All,
Just updated a suse box to get the backport of the sftp fix and noticed that
Ilya (or somebody) had implemented a 2-row kicker patch that allow you to have a
2-row systray instead of a 1 row systray. This is a great space saver for
kicker. Probably only works for taskbar >= 35px since the 2-row tray uses 16px
icons. Regardless, this is a cool trick that we may want to implement in tde.
Now, instead of having to hide most of the systray icons to keep it within a
2-icon space (my preference) I can unhide everything and still take up less
space. It's a 4-for-1 space saving.
Here is a quick screenshot:

Ilya, can you point us to the patch?

David,
I have a Trinity 3.5.13 and if I have a bar high enough so my systray
icons are grouped into two lines automatically. Works including hiding of
icons (hidden icons are also in two rows). Not only have very small bar
or systray icons too big?

The only patch I see is a change to the default system icon size, from 22
pixels to 16 pixels. The system tray has always (confirmed on 3.5.12, and
probably works on earlier versions than this) been able to expand to
multiple rows if sufficient vertical height was given to it.
To change your system tray icon size:

Ahh, that was it. I have a 36px kicker, so when the default systray icon went
from 22->16, I automatically got 2 rows. (still a neat trick!)

The reason I know this is that I originally wrote the icon resize feature
for TDE, and did not change the default size to 16x16 for these reasons.

Anyone else have this problem?

I do. Sometimes it renders ok, most times it doesn't.
