I don't think that a Systray is within the specifications of those Windowmanagers. You could try out something like trayer in floating-mode though.
Todays mistakes are tomorrows catastrophes.

trayer --expand true --widthtype request --transparent true --alpha 255 --edge top --align right &
That's an app trayer, mentioned above. That command line starts it transparent so it's fairly unobtrusive, and it expands only as needed. You can change the location with the edge and align commands.

Well I can only speak for dwm. Pipe information from your .xinitrc directly into the "bar" of dwm....
Haven't been here in a while. Still rocking Arch.

Although this is solved (and old)....
Has anybody tried this with nm-applet in dwm? I'd like to use nm-applet because it also allows me to choose my 3g connection easily.
Can I just:
.xinitrc
trayer [options....] &
nm-applet &
[stuff] | dwm
thanks ;-)
EDIT: it worked with
.xinitrc
(sleep 1 && /usr/bin/ck-launch-session) & # do this before nm-applet... I don't know why
/usr/bin/stalonetray --geometry 16x16+150-586 --icon-size 16 &
(sleep 2 && /usr/bin/nm-applet) &
conky -c /home/seb/.conky-dwm | while true; do /usr/bin/dwm > /dev/null; done;
