Additional SysTray Icons
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
I created several tray icons in the default KDE 4.5 style for the following programs:
ktorrentkopetekonversationkgpg
I've also included icons for these programs:
kmailakregatorchoqokkteatime
BUT the do not work because these programs either use an old API (kmail, akregator, kteatime) or they don't use KStatusNotifierItem::setIconByName (like kopete) this allows plasma to select an icon according to the desktop theme. Instead they use KStatusNotifierItem::setIconByPixmap with a pixmap that was loaded by the program itself (choqok does this and supposedly kgpg).
Also: konversation doesn't use the icon defined in the set for it's red-blinking-alert instead is uses it's default .png icon, so the explanation above might apply likewise.
To install them simply put the *.svgz files in ${HOME}/.kde4/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons
or in the corresponding folder in the KDE installation directory.
This thing is not really fit-for release. I hope that the KDE-Icon designers will come up with a neater looking version.
Inspired by the Amarok Tray Icon[1] and Krayscale[2].

So if you are willing to patch and recompile, you can use the icon.
(Well, patched is a strong word... Basically I've just replaced setIconByPixmap with setIconByName in the coqok/systrayicon.cpp)

Export the svg to png, and make sure its dimensions are 22x22. Copy the png to:
icon-theme-name/22x22/apps
As an example, for a downloaded icon-theme it would be something like this:
~/.kde4/share/icons/MIB-Ossigeno-Icons-V3-Classic/22x22/apps

These desktoptheme icons in KDE 4.5 are quite a nifty feature, because they allow a consistent look of icons and desktop theme.

Would be nice to see more in the future. I miss a Akregator icon. :)
Keep up your great work.
