Description of Change

This is a quirk I came across a bit ago and I think we should document it. The reason for this quick is that the Chromium SNI implementation which we rely on is only designed for one single Tray icon. Attempts to use it for additional icons will fail, and those failures fall back to GtkStatusIcon.
