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

[Stefan Nagy]

Hi Geoff - thank you! I hope your patch will be included in evolution-
indicator.

I've just installed your patch and wanted to confirm what Julien Olivier
wrote: When the Evolution window is visible it doesn't appear in the
window list.

And there's also another problem: When you want to compose a new e-mail
(or compose an answer to an e-mail) a new window opens - if you click on
the close button of the main window now (to hide the main window while
you're composing an e-mail) Evolution closes completely after you close
the new e-mail (or after it closes because you clicked 'send').

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:
