Re: How to get an icon into the Gnome notification area?

I want to write a Tcl app(let?) which will run a regular check on a

the Gnome notification panel. I'm running FC4 in case it matters. I'd
also like to associate a menu with the icon.

I can find plenty of examples in GTK and some in perl, but in tcl I've
drawn a blank. Is there a package that will help with this?

There is a package called Gnocl: http://www.dr-baum.net/gnocl/. It
connects Tcl with Gtk and Gnome... I don't know specifics on how to use
it with the Gnome notification area or other Gnome related stuff - but
I read somewhere that it makes such things possible that you are
looking for. It is certanily a interresting topic, and if you find out
more, it would be interresting to hear your experience.
