[MonoDevelop] Putting a Windows Application in to the SystemTray in ubuntu

[Ian Norton]

Probably the easiest way is to give your program a small gtk# wrapper,

http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharpNotificationIcon

Create a notification icon and then use this to feed events to/from your
winforms app.
