A partial answer... StatusNotifier is not enabled by default in MATE.

Install "dconf-editor", run it to set org>mate>panel>general>enable-sni-support

calibre will then run in the background (with "calibre --start-in-tray") but in my case I then get an error popup saying, "Notification Area" has quit unexpectedly. If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel."

The network connection/speaker etc. icons are then not showing. If I click "Reload" then they reappear. There is no indication there that calibre is running, but it is actually properly running in the background and works as server.

If would be helpful if others could give their experience with this.
