I would like to run ownCloud client as a different user, with something like:

gksudo -u owncloud owncloud

However, it is specifying:

ownCloud requires a working system tray. Please install a system tray application such as trayer. If you are running xfce follow these instructions: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/systray

The question remains, how does one facilitate having the owncloud user account use the parent's system tray?
