i had a really rather nasty idea the other day for these kinds of situations: we could put a key/value entry into KSNI's from our apps that can be serviced by a plasmoid, e.g. "Plasmoid" = "lionmail" and when that status notifier appears, the system tray could instead instantiate the "right" plasmoid if it is installed. beauty of that is: * it's backwards compatible with both xembed and status notifier system trays * it allows the plasmoid to come and go with the app, just as system tray icons do * if the plasmoid isn't installed, it would still Just Work (falling back naturally to the standard status notifier icon) * it would make these apps shine in plasma shells ugly of that is: * it's a hack attached to status notifier :) thoughts? -- Aaron J.
