/**
    @class wxTaskBarIcon

    This class represents a taskbar icon.
    A taskbar icon is an icon that appears in the 'system tray' and responds to
    mouse clicks, optionally with a tooltip above it to help provide information.


    @section taskbaricon_xnote X Window System Note

    Under X Window System, the window manager must support either the
    "System Tray Protocol" (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec)
    by freedesktop.org (WMs used by modern desktop environments such as GNOME >= 2,
    KDE >= 3 and XFCE >= 4 all do) or the older methods used in GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1 and 2.

    If it doesn't, the icon will appear as a toplevel window on user's desktop.
    Because not all window managers have system tray, there's no guarantee that
    wxTaskBarIcon will work correctly under X Window System and so the applications
    should use it only as an optional component of their user interface.
    The user should be required to explicitly enable the taskbar icon on Unix,
    it shouldn't be on by default.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxTaskBarIconEvent}
    Note that not all ports are required to send these events and so it's better
    to override wxTaskBarIcon::CreatePopupMenu() if all that the application does
    is that it shows a popup menu in reaction to mouse click.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_MOVE(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_MOVE event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK(func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK event.
    @event{EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK(func)}
        This is a synonym for either EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN or UP depending on
        the platform, use this event macro to catch the event which should result
        in the menu being displayed on the current platform.

        On Unix, X11 environment may or may not provide the tray, depending on

        the System Tray Protocol by freedesktop.org

              under X11 and so applications shouldn't cache the result.

              adding icons to tray, but they are unreliable and this method
