Multi-line tooltip in system tray

[Michael Mann]

There's plenty of different code floating around to place an application (icon)
in the system tray. Does anyone know how to implement a multi-line tooltip
for the icon you place in the system tray?

I'm pretty sure the sys-tray API does not provide support for this.

I suspect the only way to do it would be with some sort of hook where you
determine when the tooltip is about to be displayed and then display it
yourself.
