[Bug 460483] Re: The plugin should allow Evolution to close to the indicator-applet

[Duststorm]

Hey,

This usability bug also bothered me and after some searching and finding only half solutions I found this.
I really like your fix!

I had to install the debs separately, after first uninstalling evolution
though, because the package management apparently reports it as being
older than the current version in the ubuntu repo, which is ubuntu10
already.

The already mentioned issue of evolution opening up a second window when
it is opened and the "Contacts" entry is selected from the indicator
applet also appears with the calendar. When you double click on a day,
or an appointment from the gnome time applet (the one that shows when
you click on the time in the upper right corner) also opens up a new
evolution window.

Bug description:
Among all applications currently integrated with the indicator-applet (Empathy/Pidgin, Evolution, Gwibber), Evolution is the only one without a close-to-tray functionality. This is inconsistent as it forces the user to leave it open in order to use the indicator-applet properly. Close-to-tray functionality has been implemented for Evolution before, so I guess it's possible:
