[jNotes-list] Launching the jNotes2 again

Hi all,

Patrick has found a cool thing: SysTray for Java
(http://www.eikon.tum.de/~tamas/) that allows java apps to interact with system
tray on Windows and KDE. It has a clean license (LGPL) and I believe we can now
implement a convenient and habitual way to control jNotes with system tray icon.

I imagine it as the following:

1) User launches jNotes first time:
   * Application window is opened
   * jNotes icon is appeared in system tray
   * jNotes systray menu (opens by right-click on systray icon) is "Minimize | Exit"

2) User closes the jNotes window or selects "File->Minimize" in main menu or
   selects "Minimize" in systray menu :
   * Window is closed, but jNotes is still active in system tray
   * jNotes systray menu is "Restore | Exit"

3) User launches jNotes repeatedly, or left-click on system tray icon, or select
   "Restore" in systray menu:
   * If the application window is opened, it moves to top.
   * If it is closed, it is restored

4) User selects "File->Exit" in main menu or "Exit" in icon menu: Application goes to shutdown.

Also I think that it is a good idea to make a launching mode customizable (in
preferences) to allow the user to select whether jNotes should launches normal
or minimized at first time.

On platforms that are not supported by SysTray for Java (e.g. MacOS) the scenario
may be like as in my previous letter.
