For example, a system tray icon might appear to tell the user that they have new mail, or have an incoming instant message, or something along those lines. The basic idea is that creating an icon in the notification area is less annoying than popping up a dialog.
A StatusIcon object can be used to display an icon in a "system tray". The icon can have a tooltip, and the user can interact with it by activating it or popping up a context menu. Critical information should not solely be displayed in a StatusIcon, since it may not be visible (e.g. when the user doesn't have a notification area on his panel). This can be checked with is_embedded().
On X11, the implementation follows the freedesktop.org "System Tray" specification. Implementations of the "tray" side of this specification can be found e.g. in the GNOME and KDE panel applications.

Creates a new Gtk::StatusIcon object.

Creates a status icon displaying the file filename. The image will be scaled down to fit in the available space in the notification area, if necessary.

|
|
Obtains information about the location of the status icon on screen. This information can be used to e.g. position popups like notification bubbles. See gtk_status_icon_position_menu() for a more convenient alternative for positioning menus. Note that some platforms do not allow GTK+ to provide this information.
