[gimpwin-users] How to iconify in systray??

[Tor Lillqvist <tml iki fi>]

This is off-topic for the gimpwin-users list. Please ask GTK+
programming questions on gtk-app-devel-list (see
http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html). It's perfectly OK to ask also
Windows-specific questions there.

Not really. In Windows you cannot have windows in the notification
area (systray). Instead there is a separate API to add/remove just
icons in the systray. Look up Shell_NotifyIcon on MSDN. In GTK+ 2.10
there will be a platform-independent API to manage status icons. I
think it would be relatively trivial (if you know what you are doing)
to lift that code (gtkstatusicon.c) out of HEAD GTK+ and use in an
application together with an older GTK+, too.
