Thankyou for your help. I tried the first method but it didn't work (it is a Gtk object and so I doubted it would due to what you said above). I then tried to do the second method but I didn't really understand what to do. Could you do an example with this http://people.canonical.com/~ted/libappindicator/current/AppIndicator.html#app-indicator-new ? Again thankyou for you help -- Andrew _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
