I've asked Ryan Paul on IRC and I'll try to make things more clear here. Gwibber, at least the current version, does not minimize to tray by design. The usual behavior of an application (for example Empathy) is:
close button: hides window, keeps app running file->quit: closes app Gwibber, on the other hand, does the following: close button: closes gwibber, keeps gwibber-service running file->quit: closes both gwibber and gwibber-service. In other words, there is no "hide to tray" option because the very concept of "hiding" does not apply to the current version of Gwibber. It is either open, and showing, or closed. So a "replacement" for the tray icon would be adding a launcher to the panel. Theoretically, the difference in user experience should be minimal (even being closed instead of minimized, the Gwibber window is supposed to appear instantly), but due to a couchdb-related bug Gwibber takes a long time to open, so it's very noticeable. -- Exits on Close instead of Iconifying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
