title: Minimize to gnome panel
body: <p>I have an application written in python, I would like it to be able to "minimize" to the gnome panel, much like how gnome's rhytmbox minimizes to the panel. Is it easily possible to do this? </p>
  
  <p>I've run the examples from <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=496185" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> but failed to get any of them working and those don't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. Any good places to start?</p>
