pygtk statusicon (tray icon)

[xrado]

does some one know how to use new statusicon included in pygtk since version 2.10.

I cant find any example on the net.

gtk.StatusIcon
gtk.StatusIcon()
Returns : a new gtk.StatusIcon

Note
This constructor is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Creates an empty status icon object.

Methods
gtk.StatusIcon.set_from_pixbuf

    def set_from_pixbuf(pixbuf)

pixbuf : a gtk.gdk.Pixbuf or None

Note
This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Makes status_icon display pixbuf. See the gtk.status_icon_new_from_pixbuf() function for details.

gtk.StatusIcon.set_from_file

    def set_from_file(filename)

filename : a filename

Note
This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Makes status_icon display the file filename. See the gtk.status_icon_new_from_file() function for details.

gtk.StatusIcon.set_from_stock

    def set_from_stock(stock_id)

stock_id : a stock icon id

Note
This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Makes status_icon display the stock icon with the id stock_id. See the gtk.status_icon_new_from_stock() function for details.

gtk.StatusIcon.set_from_icon_name

    def set_from_icon_name(icon_name)

icon_name : an icon name

Note
This method is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Makes status_icon display the icon named icon_name from the current icon theme. See the gtk.status_icon_new_from_icon_name() function for details.

So it's

myStatusIcon = gtk.StatusIcon()
myStatusIcon.set_from_icon_name(icon_name)

or set the icon any of the other ways available.

I will recommend that all GTK users sign up for this list as there are no GTK experts on this forum, yet. A forum makes much more sense than a mial list because you don't get unrelated email in your box, but (for now) this seems like a good solution.
