 Personally I think it would be great to be able to put the icons in the
notification area at least optionally -- this doesn't really count as "non
native behaviour" IMHO, it's just "another native behaviour". Unfortunately
the last time I looked (admittedly, this was in 2003 or thereabout) there
was no official API for doing this and all non-Apple programs showing the
icons in the notification area used a custom kernel extension to do it. Has
it changed since then?
