[Interest] QSystemTrayIcon under OS X

[Bob Hood]

Hey, guys.

I have a small "helper" Qt application that just adds an icon to the Windows 
task tray, and manages the life cycle of a process intended to run in the 
background.  This "helper" is just a convenient interface for the user.  It 
works fine under Windows. Appears in the task tray, provides a context menu, 
has no main window or other presence on the desktop.

This same code under OS X shows the icon in the OS X equivalent of the task 
try along with the context menu.  However, it also shows an entry in the 
launcher at the bottom, and provides a second "standard" menu with "standard" 
menu options (i.e., options I did not create).

Whats the best way to hide these unneeded and unwanted extra items (launcher 
presence and system menu) so the behavior is consistent between the platforms?

Thanks.
