Currently egg.trayicon is an optional dependency: GTimeLog does an import and gracefully ignores the error, if any. It could try gtk.StatusIcon as an alternative (and skip the time counter label business).
I suppose if we really want a ticking counter in the systray, we could create a pixmap and draw into it, like Maemo's statusbarclock applet does.
