jhbuild-trayicon
jhbuild-trayicon is an attempt to add a notification tray icon to jhbuild, so that you know how your build is going. Ideally it would pop up a message bubble, but those seem to be broken in the notification area. At the moment we have shoddy artwork done by yours truly and a python application that listens to notifications of stdin and updates the icon appropriately. Integration into jhbuild isn't yet done, although all you'll have to do is popen the program and write to it when you want to update what it says. Compiling the EggTrayIcon module might be a bit of a pain if you don't have the python-gtk2 development crack (and possibly other things). tarball (23K) and the bug report (in case you want to finish it off). Also, thanks to Grahame who's pyconsole application gave me most of the pointers I needed to get this working.
