Add systray support (to xmobar or dzen2)?
I think it would be very useful if the standard bar had systray support, for else it is difficult to get the position right. This would mean adding the support to dzen2 or xmobar, I guess. I guess that most people will not have many icons in the systray, so that the systray will be fairly short. So I guess we do not want to waste a whole screen edge for the systray. Therefore the systray should be on the same screen edge as the other informational windows, and this means dzen2 or xmobar, for xmonad users. And trying to position both dzen2/xmobar and stalonetray (say) on the same screen edge is really difficult. Kai

I personally think this is overkill. For instance, I find the following works fine for me: stalonetray -bg '#7D7A7A' -i 8 -geometry 19x1+372+0 &>/dev/null & It's the "-i 8" flag which is important to resize the icons to eight pixels. -- Thomas Adam

I would beg to differ. I am attempting to use Drew Adams' OneOnOne package for emacs to place a single, eternal minibuffer at the bottom of my screen: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs Emacs is just now gaining support for systrap notification. I would definitely want this in my bar and not stealing from my minibuffer. /john
