  Except that stalonetray does not work, at least not together xmonad.  I
  will probably file bugs against stalonetray later.

  In the meantimem, I am willing to maintain trayer.

And I will add to that that trayer has 500+ installations according to popcon.

Well, I noticed some missing copyrights in the old package, so added
this to the debian/copyright:

  systray/fixedtip.{c,h}:  Copyright (C) 2001 Havoc Pennington
  systray/eggtraymanager.{c,h}:  Copyright (C) 2002 Anders Carlsson

Yep, you are right, these are indeed missing.  I will now carefully
check each file, add missing copyrights and upload again.
