Even in Microsoft Windows, it has never been called "system tray".   
They had been careful from the beginning to call it the "notification  
area" in APIs, user documentation, etc. Early on some people outside  
of MS noticed "systray.exe" and so gave it a nickname.

So for developers who look into this at all, even Windows developers,  
should be able to cope with the industry standard term.
