There is no notion of image name being a fallback to the bitmap version
in the StatusNotifierItem protocol. This should probably be clearly
defined (the spec has a FIXME which propose the opposite behavior).

Anyway, KDE implementation does not let the developer specify both
versions right now: if you set the icon by pixmap, it unsets the name
and vice-versa.

I just sent a hackish patch to Jonathan Riddell which prevents Amarok
from using pixmap based icons (or overlays) when running on GNOME. This
should work-around this bug.
