如何使用gtk让系统托盘显示图标

使用下面的演示代码时，注意图标的路径，否则不能显示托盘图标。如果编译不成功，请注意编译命令中的字符是否是英文的字符。

介绍：

这篇文章解释了GtkStatusIcon部件的使用，这个GtkStatusIcon部件用来在系统托盘里放置图标。为了和用户交互提示条和弹出菜单可以加入到这个图标里。这个图标也可以闪烁。

如何在系统托盘里放置图标：



下列函数可以用来创建一个新的状态图标：
    GtkStatusIcon* gtk_status_icon_new ();

    GtkStatusIcon* gtk_status_icon_new_from_pixbuf    (GdkPixbuf *pixbuf);

    GtkStatusIcon* gtk_status_icon_new_from_file      (const gchar *filename);

    GtkStatusIcon* gtk_status_icon_new_from_stock     (const gchar *stock_id);

    GtkStatusIcon* gtk_status_icon_new_from_icon_name (const gchar *icon_name);


为了设置一个提示条文本可以用下面的函数：
 void gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip (GtkStatusIcon *icon, const gchar *tooltip_text);

为了闪烁一个图标用下面的函数：
void gtk_status_icon_set_blinking (GtkStatusIcon *icon, gboolean blinking);



当用户激活这个托盘图标，托盘图标发送"activate"信号；当用户指出一个菜单应该显示时，托盘图标发送一个"popup-menu"信号。


演示程序：
下面的程序当用户按下最小化按钮时，创建一个托盘图标，隐藏应用窗口。使用托盘图标的弹出菜单应用窗口变得有效。当和托盘图标交互时信号被处理。

上面的代码可以用下面的命令编译：

gcc trayicon.c -o trayicon `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`.
