Re: [Tracker] System tray icon and monitor

["Samuel Cormier-Iijima" <sciyoshi gmail com>]

It also needs PyGTK 2.10 for the StatusIcon. I was thinking something
like Google Desktop (if any of you have tried it for Windows) which
has a tray icon for searching. Anyways it was just a thought. Another
thing I coded up for fun was a sort of webserver in Python that serves
search results through HTTP. Would anyone else be interested in this?
