Use gtk.StatusIcon[1] (new in pygtk 2.10), and hide/show the main window
when you receive the "activate" signal; display a popup menu on the
"popup-menu" signal.

No, gtk.StatusIcon supports the f.d.o system tray spec,[2] which is
implemented by both GTK+ and KDE.  It also supports the Windows system
tray.
