Re: [Openvpn-users] Re: Tray Showing for OpenVPN GUI Problem

[Lonnie Cumberland <lonnie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No other real uses for those switches as other than the current 
disappearing tray icon.

Beyond that, OpenVPN GUI has run GREAT for me.

One other small suggestion might this for user to have a little more 
convenience.

Currently if you "right-click" on the tray icon then you can 
connect/disconnect, etc... which is great. What about a small menu 
popping up if you had some sort of desktop shortcut or start menu 
shortcut as well.  It's not really needed, but might make some things 
easier for a few users sometimes.

So far, I have really had great success with this software and 
appreciate all of the hard work that you have done in developing it.

Thanks,
Lonnie
