Hi All,
I am sure you could also add this to a tray icon, using sdesk.
sdesk is a GTK2 tray icon program that you can link scripts to. 
Basically you set a right click and left click action to run, it can be
any sort of executable.
if anyone is interested I will link a PPA you can use.
but usage is pretty simple you run
sdesk -t /path/to/icon/you/want.svg "Tooltip Text to display on mouse
over" "leftclickexecutable" "rightclickexecutable"

I haven't tested this yet in Lubuntu only using JWM, but since Lubuntu
(and Xubuntu) are GTK2 this should work.  It does NOT work in gtk3 DE AFAIK.

This could be a very useful thing for Lubuntites  (until LXQt of course).
Of course I suppose the program could be rewritten to use Qt rather than
GTK2....

I mainly use it so invoke a zenity dialog for locate to have a nice
quick search in my panel in JWM.
