Logs from today’s class can be read here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/02/23/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t18:01

Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) introduced the new Indicator Applet, which lets applications that need to show indications/notifications to a user congregate all in one place.  Gwibber is one such application that makes use of the Indicator Applet, but the sanity check I mentioned above means you still get tray clutter.  Here is a quick, simple hack you can make to the Gwibber code to override this behavior.

1. sudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/gwibber/client.py (If you installed Gwibber from the repos, if you’ve checked out the source it’s under $src/gwibber/client.py)

2. Locate the on_window_close method.

3. Comment out the line: self.preferences["show_tray_icon"] = True (Put a # at the beginning of the line)

4. Save and restart Gwibber!  Now you can minimize to tray without showing a tray icon.  Use the Gwibber entry in the Indicator Applet menu to bring the window back up.
