Re: Tray, Yay! Taskbar, Nay!

Randall,

It could certainly be an option, but it requires more than just hiding 
the taskbar entry.  Specifically, we have to come up with the actions on 
the tray icon that cause a switche to the Cygwin/XFree86 window.  Here 
are the options that come to mind:

1) A right-click menu item.  Give me some ideas about what the button 
should say.

2) An action assigned to a left click or a left double-click (currently 
assigned to the Exit confirmation window).  Obviously, a right click 
action is right out :)

3) ???

4) Profit!


Also, I need some thinking going into how the Cygwin/XFree86 window 
should behave when it loses the focus.  I mean, it isn't going to have 
an entry in the taskbar, so raising it to the top might be a little funny.

If I get a working description of how all these details (or at least 60% 
of them) should be handled, then I will likely code this feature myself. 
 If not, I probably won't touch it.
