There's nothing there monitoring my mailbox and telling me when I have new mail, though. > The concept of quasi-sorta-kind-minimized just doesn't make much > sense. I don't know about "quasi-sorta-kind-minimized". I just don't want the big mail client running all the time. When I close it I want it to go away. I do want a little icon in my notification area that tells me when I have new mail though. And when I click on that icon, I want it to start the big mail client running again. Pidgin seems to work like this; it's quite nice. I don't know if that's one program that does it all and is "quasi-sorta-kind-minimized", or if that's one program for pidgin itself and a separate, simple panel applet for the notification thingy. But as a user, I don't care. Are you saying that it's not reasonable to want to spawn a "real" application, in response to a notification that I see in my panel? -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
