The spec defines the interfaces org.freedesktop.
{StatusNotifierItem,StatusNotifierWatcher,StatusNotifierHost}. You
implement org.kde.{StatusNotifierItem,StatusNotifierWatcher}. I guess,
this is because the freedesktop version is not available yet.
They seem to be identical wrt methods, signals and properties.
Therefore, I propose you register your objects for
org.freedesktop.StatusNotifier* and org.kde.StatusNotifier* interfaces
in parallel.
Besides the properties, it might also be a good idea to offer standard
interfaces like org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable and
org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.
(Hmm, dbus.el shall be extended for ofD.ObjectManager).
