Hello Richard,

I have tried implementing what you suggested, but I am unsure as to
where exactly I ought to stuff the g_timeout_add to, when I find one
function to set the tray icon, I find another that seems to have some
part in the fray, a few that I've found:-

1) gpm_tray_icon_init - gpm-tray-icon.c : 615

2) gpm_notify_use_status_icon - gpm-notify.c : 209

so some guidance as to what to make of this would be really helpful. :)

Thanks.
