I think I've seen utilities for Linux, although OS/X is more problematic.

As Kovid said on the Qt5 bug report:

I've also found some mailing list threads indicating that GNOME rejected the appindicator protocol and is implementing its own version, and I have no idea what KDE is doing. Not to mention all the various "light" window managers. I suppose all this will coalesce into something that can actually be developed against whenever the year of the Linux Desktop finally arrives
And likewise for implementing settings within the desktop itself, I should think.
