Description FabiB 2016-04-21 09:55:19 UTC

right now milou is a nice widget for the desktop or a plasma bar. on the desktop its useless because its always covered by some windows, on the plasma bar its greate to have so why not make it possible to dock to the notification area?

we just need to add
X-Plasma-NotificationArea=true
to the metadata.desktop

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to add milou to the notification area

Actual Results:  
its not possible right now

Expected Results:  
it should be possible

metadata file with additional change

with this metadata.desktop its possible to add it to the notification area (sys-tray)
i've added following line to make the change

X-Plasma-NotificationArea=true

You can still add it to the panel without this flag

just click and drag it to the panel.

It's not something that belongs in the notification area as it doesn't show/hide based on state.

Please reopen this if I'm mis understanding something.
