How is that different from applets? You can create a panel and put all your applets on it next to each other if you want. > Let me tell again, exactly like you say here, there should be two taskbars, one main one and a special icon only taskbar for important/background apps. So the only difference between this and applets is that the applet icon would disappear while you have them open in "window" mode? I'm not sure there's any benefit to this. Just encourage developers to create applets instead of notification area icons, and/or encourage the freedesktop spec to be revised so that it creates an applet in Gnome and notification area icons in KDE and Windows. http://standards.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec- latest.html ** Summary changed: - Shrinking to notification area should have its own title bar button + Shrinking to applet/notification area should have its own title bar button ** Description changed: The title bar has three buttons on the right-hand side; Minimize to taskbar, Maximize, and Close.
