Exactly. I'm just trying to show the user that from his/her
perspective, there's a relationship between that window which just
opened or closed, and that icon in the tray/notify/indicator area.
If the relationsip can't be established or detected by the window
manager (or the wayland compositor, or whatever) then there's no
little zoom animation showing it, that's all.<br>

Of course the window doesn't actually "go to" or "come from" a tray
icon. It comes from a client process creating and mapping the
window, or closing/destroying it. Like i said, i'm just trying to
show the user what makes sense from a *user's perspective*. For
example, "You just closed the volume control window, here's where
the volume icon is located." ...or, "This window that just popped up
is from your update manager. Here's where the update icon is
located."<br>
