This is a somewhat open ended report.

I found the system tray hard to configure.
Are there 2 types of entries are "Visible" and "Extra"? mixed with an Autoloaded concept? These settings are then split across 2 tabs, which make it hard to overview.
Are the categories really useful?

Suggestion:
- Remove the categories.
- Have only one tab with all the possible entries listed and the following columns: Enabled/Disabled Checkbox, Name, Location (Panel|Extras), Visibility (Always, AutoLoaded), Keyboard Shortcut.
- Add the possibility to reorder the icons by drag and dropipng them on the table.
- Add the possibility to manage both the place (panel, extras) and the relative order of the icons in-place by directly dragging the icons on the widget. This would update and save the settings.
