Minimizes Songbird to the system tray.
PLEASE READ
*******************
I am not the author of this plug-in.
I have merely copied Michael B's MinimizeToTray Plugin (http://codefisher.org/minimizetotray/), and made some changes to it.
My setup is currently a Ubuntu 9.10-Gnome, on a Laptop with Songbird Version: 1.4.3, Build 1438 (20091223030122)
I'm not sure how this will work on other systems, especially windows, but as far as linux is concerned, seems to work fine.
Please comment and let me know your findings/bugs/errors, so I and others can help maintain this.

Michael B. (http://codefisher.org/minimizetotray/) - Version: 1.0.8 [forked from]
Removed the context menu items that were available when minimized, since they no longer worked.
"Always display tray icon" preference was removed as it is still buggy, and caused hangs.
Version range reduced to 1.4.1
Thanks for the add on. It is working great for me. The only bug I have noticed so far is if I am playing a song and right click on it an tell it to exit it will keep playing then never really close songbird.
System info:
Mandriva 2010.1 (KDE 4.4.2)
Songbird 1.4.3

Hi there,
First of all thank you for this add-on. It seems to be the only one that is compatible with linux and songbird 1.4.3.
There are a few problems:
- Closing songbird by right-clicking on tray icon and select close, does not work. Tray icon disappears, while songbird is still running.
- Pause, next, etc. do not work when right clicking on the tray icon.
- The right-click menu sticks (when songbird is minimized to tray).
These problems are relatively small, so I will use this add-on. However, I hope the problems can be fixed. (Starting with the first problem, closing songbird).
Regards,
Joep
