Status icon improvement proposal #27

1) I have "Show status icon when no updates found" set to off. Could you make it so that the icon does not show up in the tray until it finds updates? Currently it shows up as soon as it starts checking, and in the case of a slow Internet connection it was stuck on "Working" for over 10 minutes ... I'd rather the icon not show at all until there are updates detected, because to me there's no point in being notified prior to that since I can't do anything at that point anyway.

2) Once updates are detected, could you make it so that yumex-dnf gets launched to the tray automatically (as an option at least)? This was one of the main reasons I requested for the --start-hidden option to be brought back. In 4.1.1, once updates are detected, when the user clicks the tray icon, in my case it takes about 5 seconds for yumex-dnf to load. With yumex 3 using the --start-hidden option, yumex was brought up instantaneously once I clicked the icon in the tray because it was preloaded. yumex-dnf already has the capability to be hidden to the tray and instantly restored -- is there any reason you can't make this a command-line startup option like in yumex 3?

This should fix the long working time, to load all dnf metadata twice https://github.com/timlau/yumex-dnf/commit/ce4d0d68220358feb44636933eb87ca8048e8886
