The easiest way that I can see to disable the icon is to ship a replacement for the default session, that doesn't include gnome-cups-icon. This is definitely something that should be possible to disable with GConf, but unfortunately the session manager still needs a serious revamp. All in all, this is the sum of a design mistake in CUPS (which is why polling is needed), a missing setting in libgnomecups (to choose the polling interval) and poor session management. The second issue is the easiest to fix (look for UPDATE_TIMEOUT in gnome-cups-printer.c). Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
