Created attachment 7668 Adds --start-hidden; tries to be friendly with the "Hide into the notification area" option; use git am to apply The notification icon for the task manager is pretty nice by itself, and I would like to have it run on login without needing to start the task manager manually, it would be nice to have a --start-hidden (or similar) command line option. I have attached a proposed git format-patch patch that adds this feature for your review.
Nice, but it would be even better if it used the glib way of parsing commandline args...
Created attachment 7744 The proposed patch, now with glib cli parsing I have amended the previous patch to use GOption.

Thanks! Maybe a message telling the user to activate the notification area option if starting hidden would be nice, but the basic is fine !
Created attachment 7752 A few improvements on --start-hidden I added a warning message to stdout in that case, along with a couple other small changes (including a bug fix) in a new patch.
