fixed in OpenJDK, not in Sun Java

  * Let XToolkit.isTraySupported() return true, if Compiz is running.

The problem is fixed in Natty with compiz 0.9.4 and the java taskbar fix workaround. The attached preliminary patch backports the patch itself, but not the user interface integration.

Updated patch that is coded more defensively and checks for null and replaced the wrong call to findWindow with a for loop over all windows on a screen.
