How do I minimise Songbird to the system tray?

OR you could either
a) use the normal, big Media Player, that you can minimize, or
b) right click on the mini-player and tell him NOT to be always on top.

That way, it will disappear, when you open the next program over it, so to speak.

Tyler out!

This plugin isn't working properly (will file separately) but does allow me to hide Songbird completely by clicking on the egg icon in the tray. Thanks Boris.

The plugin works for me, but it would be really awesome if on Windows systems there was a "Toolbar" in the bottom bar just to the left of the system tray with mini controls, like iTunes and Windows Media Player both do.
