David> I'd love to see this -- for example, an icon that sits in the David> tray and flashes when someone mentions your nick in ERC. Right now I have: * ERC support (an "erc-status" module). Flashes when your nick is seen, clicking shows that buffer, notifies when you enter/leave a server. In theory there's a menu but this is broken ATM. * Calendar support -- kinda buggy, but pops up a notification for an appointment, and clicking shows the calendar. * EMMS support. Tooltip shows the current song, clicking pauses or un-pauses play. I think more than half of my notification area icons come from Emacs :-) It is a pain to set up right now, you need to patch zenity (the patch is in Gnome bugzilla). See: http://tromey.com/blog/?p=309 http://tromey.com/blog/?p=308 ... but look for status.el and erc-status.el on gnu-emacs-sources, since I posted newer versions. For real Emacs integration I was thinking of having a new kind of icon-only frame. I think this would let the menus work more nicely. I haven't looked into implementing this... I'd like to but it is hard to know whether I'll find the time. Anyway, I welcome advice & input on this. Tom
