foudfou 82fae974d1 ctypes libs are tracked by firetray.Handler. 
(sub)modules using ctypes libs just need to declare opened libs, which will be
ultimately closed by the Handler. Not only is this fancier, but also useful in
situations where we want to init()/shutdown() modules without closing libs used
by others (ex: IMStatusIcon)

Firetray

Overview

Js-ctypes rewrite of the binary XPCOM version of Firetray.

Features

  • for all applications:

    • show/hide a single or all windows
    • restore windows to their previous state, position, size
    • restore each window to its original virtual desktop/workspace
    • activate restored windows
    • hide to tray on close
    • hide to tray on minimize
    • start minimized to tray
    • show icon only when hidden to tray
    • mouse scroll on tray icon shows/hides
    • GTK-themable icons
    • customizable tray icon
    • popup menu (show/hide indivisual windows, open new windows, quit)
    • adds -showHide option (useful for window manager's keyboard shortcuts)
    • middle click on the tray icon activates last registered window

  • for mail applications:

    • display unread message count in tray icon
    • display biff in tray icon when new messages
    • include/exclude mail accounts to/from messages count
    • include/exclude folders types to/from messages count
    • count in sub-folders recursively

Notes

  • requires GTK+ 2.20 and higher.
  • Firetray temporarily unsets the tabs.warnOnClose built-in preference, which otherwise disrupts the handeling of the close event.
  • Experimental non-customizable keyboard shortcut for hiding all windows set to: accel-shift-w

KNOWN BUGS

  • windows aren't restored with the same z-order, but there is no means to correct that under Linux

  • notifications for excluded mail account servers are not disabled. Newmailalerts are hard-coded and we can't easily disable them on a per-server basis (only globally, see mail.biff.show_alert). The proper way would probably be to disable default notifications globally, and handle notifications ourselves. This is out of the scope of this addon, but you may want to give a try to the MailAlert extension

  • child windows (compose message, preferences, ...) are not handled by Firetray. For ex., they are not hidden along with there top-level window.

  • because of getNumNewMessages()'s strange behaviour, it's impossible to display an accurate count of new messages. The best we can do is display a biff icon.

  • POP users should set [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:FAQs:_Automatically_Download_Messages](Automatically download new messages) to see new message. See this discussion.

  • some features do not work well under Unity/Compiz.
