How do I put a program in the system tray (I don’t think it’s called like that in Linux) in python TKINTER for UBUNTU 9.04.
I don’t believe you can do that using Tkinter. You will have to use the gtk libraries.
An example, found on a Ubuntu forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=bc369fc9343ae728577f1bdcd292caca&p=1053546&postcount=3
Here’s an example (in Perl) of combining gtk and Tk. Gtk handles the tray icon, and the rest of the app uses Tk: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=626617
