[PyQt] QSystemTrayIcon not working with py2exe

[Sebastian Elsner]

Hello Nick,

my setup.py is autogenerated by GUI2exe. Find the contents below. As you  
can see, I included the icon as data and icon file (even if I did not have  
to when I was using ressources). both ways work when not compiled with  
py2exe. I also tried several combinations with optimize, compressed and  
bundle. also the QtCore and QtGui pyds and dlls get copied correctly... I  
searched the web and the py2exe homepage, but it seems they do not have a  
mailing list.

I'd appreciate all suggestions.

Sebastian
