For situations like this one (gnome shell and others), you can try the
windowed menu alternative:
winswitch_applet --window-notray
It's not very pretty, but it works.

I am afraid I don't have KDE 4.15 installed anywhere, so don't hold your
breath for a fix.

The code for the system tray used on Linux is found here:
http://winswitch.org/trac/browser/trunk/winswitch/ui/statusicon_tray.py
And the BaseTray superclass function is in here:
http://winswitch.org/trac/browser/trunk/winswitch/ui/tray_util.py#L185
We use the regular gtk.status_icon_position_menu function - aren't other
applications affected by this problem?
