#405 assigned enhancement

We already have native X11 code for dealing with the system tray server side (see xpra/x11/gtk_x11/tray.py), but at the moment only win32 has native tray support (see xpra/platform/win32/win32_tray.py).

The gtk.StatusIcon we use is too limited:

does not let us catch hover events,
does not let us catch individual clicks (only "activate" and "popup" events)

It shouldn't be too hard to do better than that. Either with native X11 code or with another/better tookit (see #388 for Qt)

Milestone:	future → 0.12
Owner:	changed from Antoine Martin to Antoine Martin
Status:	new → assigned
Summary:	better native tray support for Linux → better native tray support for *nix

win32 has this already, it would be a shame if *nix did not!

Let's try not to undo #479 when we do it.
