Drop tosystray option from KStart

This feature has been broken since:

    Have fun supporting setSystemTrayWindowFor() with XDG systray.

Apparently nobody is missing it if it has been reported only once over
the last five years.

Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2013-03-04 08:07:43 UTC 
I'm very sorry that this bug report has not been spotted for such a long time and that nobody replied to it. I want to thank you for reporting the bug and I am sorry that I am going to close this report as WONTFIX. As explained in comment #1 the feature has been broken since the KDE 4 port and the X11 based systray is no longer considered as a valid usecase nowadays.
