The other way arround would be nice: a systray context-menu with entries |
| 10 |
like "new mail/appointment/task/contact/...". |

| 17 |
give it a try. |

Okay. I just thougt i was missing any hidden features ;-) I think it |
| 29 |
could be a good idea to get a evo-to-systray function. |

I didn't knew about the dbus thing. But looks like the basics are there |
| 35 |
and could need some smoothing. |

I really like the way kde does systray-integration and the enclosed |
| 38 |
notification area it uses. There are definitely some things gnome could |
| 39 |
learn from it's "big brother". (I know gnome is not kde as kde is not |
| 40 |
gnome :) ) |
