I have no idea how these modern status icons work, but I thought there is
a way how to detect status icon creation failure. If it's possible, linphone
could raise a warning about and terminate. (What happens if the process
docking the icons crashes? Does linphone detect it and terminates? Or keep it
running wihout user interface? What happens then if call is comming?)

You can add it into main menu bar directly (I don't know wheather GTK allows
it).

Why not. If user has no status icon, he expects the application has exited. Or
you can make it configurable in the UI settings window (on main window close:
terminate/detach to status icon).

And also you could make the status icon code optionable at compile time.
