in GNOME you may want to look at pygtk. Haven't tried it myself, so can't help you further...

Here's a simple example using PyGTK. You'll need to have python-gtk2 and python-gnome2-extras installed.


#! /usr/bin/python

import gtk
import egg.trayicon # egg == python-gnome2-extras

def callback(widget, ev):
print "Button %i pressed!" % ev.button


tray = egg.trayicon.TrayIcon("TrayIcon")
box = gtk.EventBox()
label = gtk.Label("Click Me!")
box.add(label)
tray.add(box)
tray.show_all()

box.connect("button-press-event", callback)

gtk.main()
