System Tray

My system tray is grossly overloaded. It seems every application has a need to insert some illegibly tiny icon (or two or three) down there. And the logic for which ones of them are being shown at any given time escapes me. People at Microsoft don't seem to understand the needle in the haystack principle: the more icons I have lying around in my system tray, the less useful any of them are. Instead, my window bars get scrunched, making it even harder to switch applications (where are you, Expose??)

What a waste of real estate.

And can we get rid of the programmer generated art, please?
