I'm using trayer. One thing others have brought up is that it doesn't
actually sit in any sort of "tray" area such as the top or bottom. I
just move it to a "system" group and can visit it when I need
to. Usually, folks want a tray for nm-applet, but I believe there is
also a daemon written in python for working with network manager
outside of the nm-applet. That said, I needed access to the VPN
aspects, which wasn't available.

Hope that helps. In the end I know my solution is nothing special, but
it has definitely been good enough in practice.

Thank you, I have installed trayer and run it, but it don't appear as
a window, I don't know where it is. But if I use twm instead of
stumpwm, it comes.

What is the problem?

Not sure, but here is how I start it in my .stumpwmrc

(run-shell-command "/usr/bin/trayer --SetDockType false --transparent true --expand false --align right &")

Try bmpanel2. I don't use trays, but have tried bmpanel2 once and it
worked:

You should run it before stumpwm. And also you need resize-head patch
for stumpwm to cut area for panel:

(resize-head 0 0 25 1680 1025)
