Improvements to new system tray panel



Hello, from 3.16 I like the design approach used to address the problem of legacy tray icons.

I am now convinced that should not exist, but there are applications that use them for many reasons and we must give users a way to work with that.

I have written some reports of improvement:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748622
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756757

I have other notions from the user's perspective that could be useful, but do not know the operating system icons and how viable are performing in gnome-shell.

1. Show tray icon when an application is notified.
Some applications show a notification indicator in tray icon. It would be very useful to show the panel that happens every time (similar to the behavior when an open an application using the tray icon).

2. Show contextual information status icon a popover-style design.
It is more aesthetic, but it helps to integrate this feature to the modern design of gnome.

If you believe it is possible, could generate new reports to improve monitoring.

Finally, let me mention something that is distantly related to the operation of the tray icon, but can be useful. It would be interesting to hide the window when you double-click in the window title/header bar by default.

Cheers
