Ray Session icon in the system tray

[trebmuh]

Usually, I'm launching a RS session, then, I'm reducing the windows because I don't need it anymore. It'd be nice to be able to reduce it into an icon in the system tray rather than still having the window "open but hidden by reducing it". Clicking on the systay RS icon would then make the window to reappear/disappear. Right clicking on the icon could show a menu with a few commands (such as "save the session", "stop the session", "start the session", "load a session", "create a session", "quit RS").

As a user, I'm not a big fan of the programs in the system tray (there are some exceptions of course). I am not against an option to put raysession in the system tray, but it makes appears some questions, such as :

• Which behavior if many instances are launched ?
• Which menus on right click on icon in system tray
• Should RaySession keep alive if its window is closed without any session open ?

Alternatively, you can close the window, and click on "Keep Deamon Alive" push button. Then, if you relaunch raysession, you should see your running session exactly as it was. It takes the advantage that during its absence, window was not hidden, GUI program was not running, and it takes less memory.

Also Gnome has no system tray by default ... I do not know how it is managed exactly. But "Reducing to systray" feature, if provided, should be disabled on such system.

This feature is now implemented, with options (systray always, systray only when session running, no systray).
