Well, that gets called the instant that the preference is changed (at least
right now it does). So in the case of an open preference dialog and the user
unticks the systray option (which might well be an accident) the program
will die. In my opinion there should at least be a notification saying why.
If not the user might think its a bug. Depending on how much of a corner
case you think this is you might also want to have a button to open the
manager window?

Or maybe the manager should just be spawned outright in this case... A bit
to magical maybe? Not sure whats the best solution to this is, but dying
silently is not a good one imo.
