I was right, the issue of KF5 systrays moving to the XFCE panel on Mac was due to Knotifications. The platform plugin just attempts to make every Qt application use the KNotifications wrapper around QSystemTrayIcon and is thus not the real culprit. I've written a prototype fix (forcing legacy mode on platforms where that mode should be preferred) which I'll present in due time via the appropriate channel. R.
