show-hide-desktop tray icon script

[PwL]

Found it somewhere in #! forum. It's python. Stuck it into my OBa autostart. Not that I use it very much but it's presence pleases me...

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Show desktop system tray launcher for use with Openbox & tint2 (or other panels)

import gtk
import os

class StatusIcon:
    def __init__(self):
        self.statusicon = gtk.StatusIcon()
        self.statusicon.set_from_file("/user/share/icons/LinuxLex-8/places/resource-bookmarks-arrivi.png")
        self.statusicon.set_tooltip("Show Desktop")
   
        self.statusicon.connect("activate", self.left_click_event)
        self.statusicon.connect("popup-menu", self.right_click_event)

        about = gtk.ImageMenuItem(gtk.STOCK_ABOUT)
        quit = gtk.ImageMenuItem(gtk.STOCK_QUIT)
       
        about.connect("activate", self.show_about_dialog)
        quit.connect("activate", gtk.main_quit)
       
        menu.append(about)
        menu.append(quit)
