Cool, thanks.

I have locally a check against the gtk version (the highest version 
needed by any feature I use (the tooltip and so on) is I think 2.18, but 
this could be done more fine grained). The option is still in the user 
interface, it just bails out of constructing the tray icon, with no 
feedback, which isn't great user experience, but probably better than 
undefined symbol errors. I  don't have any means to test with an old gtk 
to see if this actually works though.

I don't really understand the build system. I grepped for and removed 
every mention of libegg I could find, and now I have a broken build...
"make dev-install" is still trying to copy it, and failing, This is even 
after I reran autogen and did a make clean. I must have missed an 
occurrence somewhere.
