Privacy mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'd like to have one option in menu and tray menu called: Privacy.
After clicking all windows has to be closed and minimized to tray.
Proper option must exist to set password.

Right click on tray opens menu only with 2 options:
- Privacy off (opens window to write password)
- Exit

Left Click on tray icon open password window.

After writing good password vacuum works as usual.
Blinking tray icon notifications only allowed.

This mode is very needed for the way i am using Vacuum on USB.

Hi! I would like to recall this feature:) Privacy will only disable 
communication with user, programm works as usuall.
I must create lobbing group:)

P.S. Good example of using this mode has implemented Pimmy! This is my best 
email client! No other can beat that client! :)

In a modular client is quite difficult from one module to force all other 
modules to be not active or to hide their activity, it will not be able to 
guarantee privacy in this architecture.

Only UI: close all windows, thats all. click on tray icon just raises password 
dialog, but vacuum works in background as normal, but if it is so hard to 
do.... :(

And what about notifications? If notification will appear in privacy mode, and 
some one could click on it and read the message, that will be ok? Such examples 
can be much.

no matter what will happen: every click opens only pass dialog which turn off 
privacy.

It means that every plugin should check for privacy mode before showing any 
window, and if any plugin will not do this the privacy will be broken. Taking 
into consideration that Vacuum could contain third-party plug-ins I can 
conclude that there is now way to make _reliable_ privacy mode.
