OK, what I mean is the sys tray spec for *Linux* has no hooks for the applet to request it become visible if hidden. Yes the tray could hook into an applet message (notification popups) but not if an applet demands attention via changing its applets appearance (i.e flashing). If you dont care about that then it would work fine in the myzone (though Id proxy any messages through libnotifiy for neatness). I wasn't aware on OSX you could actually hide its system tray. On windows its just this weird confusing dumping ground for apps random functionality - exactly what I believe was trying to be avoided by not having one in Moblin (but allowing for custom panels). == Matthew --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Corporation (UK) Limited Registered No. 1134945 (England) Registered Office: Pipers Way, Swindon SN3 1RJ VAT No: 860 2173 47 This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
