I've attached a patch to the spec that specifies this behavior.

I've put also patches in GNOME bugzilla for 

 The GTK+ tray icon: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552959
 The gnome-panel tray: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552953

Implementing support for _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL. Compatibility here is
good:

 * If _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL is not present, the GTK+ tray icon
behaves
   exactly the same as before.

 * The gnome-panel tray handles icon windows in any visual whether or
   not they match the _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL it provides.
