Follow up question:

The method described in Q135788 below works fine when
the application has no visible Main window.

But if it has a Main window visible when right-clicking
the tray icon, the Menu will just flash up briefly and
instantly disappear again.

Anyone has a solution to this?

Obviously there is some workaround possible here, too (since
e.g. right-clicking the clock application in the system tray
after first having double-clicked up its main window works OK),
but I havent been able to figure out a nice solution...
