Minimize any app to tray – even if it doesn't support it!

It is awesome feature to minimize app to tray, but every app doesn't support it. Example Thunderbird, best e-mail client on earth, can do this only via add-on and that add-on is windows only! Alltray is answer to this problem. It works well on gnome, xfce, kde and many other window manager. It is also quite easy to use.
