That's an option of course, but I'm so used to have certain programs, the ones always open, available in the systray it's hard to adapt to a new way of doing it. Skype, xchat, truecrypt, dropbox and Opera works like that. It would be really great if Evo had that option as well since it it a program most users have open at all times like the ones mentioned above. > > > _______________________________________________ > evolution-list mailing list > [email protected] > To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list > -- //Christian _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
