I may be missing something here, but I was under the impression that the systray was a container to hold things for notifying you of an event - i.e. things that ran in the background as a (userland) daemon. It's not a container to hold gui programs while you want them out of the way. The only one of those progs you mention that are doing the "wrong" thing is Opera - all the rest are hanging around waiting for an external event. This may be a bit of the mark, but if you want a program to be hanging around running but not visible, why not, err, minimise it. Then all you have to do is to click on the little rectangle in the window list applet. What's more, if you leave Evo running in a minimised state, then another copy of Evo starts up virtually immediately without going through all the initial checks for new mail. I have a launcher for Evo in the top bar of my window - the first click on there will launch Evo, subsequent clicks will create a new window that is ready for use straight away. Why is "minimise to systray" necessary?
