Comment 5 for bug 311905

The more I think about this one, the more I think that keeping persistent things in the task tray which do not represent launchers is inappropriate. By the very nature of this application, we already pretty explicitly as part of the program's purpose disregard the GNOME HIG and other documentation which regards the system tray as an area to be as clean and clear as possible. I agree with the idea that it should be kept that way, and while AllTray doesn't do that when running applications, the system tray only gets as full as the user of AllTray wants it to be.

Going in the other direction, there is an open bug request to trim AllTray down to one single icon that houses a list of applications that AllTray is currently managing. I'd have to agree with that one over this one, and I think that the idea of making launcher creation easier is a good one. It's likely to be something that will be in a future release, probably soon, because of its utility, but it won't be in the form of this bug report.

Regardless, thank you for taking your time to report this issue and help to improve AllTray. If you have any more feature requests, or bugs to report, in the future, please do not hesitate to come back and report them!
