[Qt-interest] System tray context menu

[Girish Ramakrishnan]

Does the QMenu that you created work fine in other places? Say, it is
attached to your app's menubar or you popup it up manually somewhere?

On Windows, the menu shown for the tray icon, is positioned and
displayed by Qt. So, if your QMenu displays fine, then QSystemTrayIcon
should have no problem either.
