For their patch, can be obtained from here,
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.8.4+dfsg-0ubuntu9.debian.tar.gz

and related one is

kubuntu_14_systemtrayicon.diff


Which they introduce a new plugin type for tray, and used by this package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/sni-qt


Looks like this hasn't ported yet to Qt5. (Qt5 has such qpa plugin for
systray so I guess patch on qt is not required anymore, but needs some one
to implement that).
