Stalonetray, trayer and xfce4.6?

Are these compatible? I tried to run them and they dont seem to work right. When I run trayer using:

trayer –expand true –transparent false  –alpha 255 –edge bottom –align right –expand true –SetDockType true –widthtype request

nothing is displayed. When I run stalonetray using

geometry 124x24+3-3
icon_gravity NW
window_layer bottom
sticky true

I get a small gray box at the bottom left but no icons or anything in there? Is this supposed to be how it initially starts up? If so whats next. There is very little documentation for these things.

I just installed tint2 which is very good, just trying to get

Have you started any apps that stay in the tray? Pidgin and/or skype etc? By default stalonetray doesn't have anything but a gray box.

Duh..Ok well I thought I would have other apps in there also, but Pidgin jumped right in!

I also thought these had options to have menu's or icons similar to a xfce or cairo panel, and tint2 was more for viewing the open windows there on the bottom?

Also, do any of these panels offer a "show desktop" option?

I know stalonetray and trayer do not. They are just system trays and nothing else. tint2 is not just a tray, but a panel. You might be better off comparing tint2 with lxpanel, pypanel and such.

I am not sure if tint2 offers a show desktop, but lxpanel does.

Thanks. I am beginning to see that. But I have both working now for my volume and apps like pidgin when I run it. I guess the only thing I am missing now is the ability to add icons and a show desktop.
