Description Dmitry B. Khlonin

I have writing some little useful applications for win32 and want to use
Java-SWT for multiplatform support... Then I use NotifyIcon method of win32 API
for creating tray icon for these applications (f.e. like WinAMP, ICQ and
others)... I heard - this concept of GUI is using also in Motif and GTK desktops
- and very glad to see support for it in SWT library

I agree that this would be useful. We are quite busy here right now, though. 
This probably won't make it in unless you (or someone else) provides a (good) 
implementation.

I will try at least on Win32 platform - but this may have problems with
implementation on other platforms...

One of the things you need to do when you are coming up with the API is at 
least take a superficial look at the other platforms and make sure that it is 
implementable on them.
