any chance to make guest tray icons show up in the host's tray?

Hello,

is there any chance to make guest system tray icons show up in the host's tray or taskbar when using Unity mode?

My host is an openSuSE 12.3 x86_64 system with kernel 3.10, my guest is running Windows 7 64bit.

VMware Player has version 5, VMware Workstation has version 9.

I have at least one application, that *always* minimizes to the Windows system tray.

To access it after minimizing, I always have to leave Unity mode, doubleclick the icon in the tray and enter Unity mode again.

Thx and bye.

Michael.

I have the same issue.

Bit worrying to see that after 2.5 years there has not been any form of response from VMware. Do they not listen to requests from their customers?
