If they don't use the libindicator interface, it won't. The old xembed implementation is no longer supported. I heard there are workarounds that include having a separate (floating window) systray, but I never had to use those, so I can't point you to any instructions.

edit: should have refreshed before posting <.<

Yay I figured it out! So this is what was going on, KDE 5 does not support  XEmbed systray anymore so that means alot of system tray stuff isn't working properly. So to fix it all you need to do is download statusnotifer (specifically "sni-qt")  from the good'ole AUR! Now some people may need the multilib one (i didn't need it as you can see) so if sin-qt doesn't work try the multilib. Have an arch-tastic day!
(ugh that sounded alot cooler in my mind )
