Ubuntu has something called Application Indicators, which are
separated from the notification area. Applications like Transmission,
Rhythmbox and IM are controllable from those appindicators and can be
hidden and removed from the taskbar. I like how that's implemented and
think it might be suitable for Evolution. As far as I'm aware,
upstream GNOME doesn't have anything similar.
