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.

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.
