A way of running Caffeine with no tray icon at all
In the same linux.reddit.com post as mentioned in another blueprint, a poster made a second good suggestion:
http://
He is an xmonad user, which is a very minimalist window manager. The idea is that he'd like to set up the Caffeine auto-activation features, and then just have it run hidden, as a daemon somewhere. He wouldn't be able to activate Caffeine manually, but with the right auto-activation setup, that would rarely be necessary.

This can be done simply by adding an option to not show the status icon. Probably should be in a "Advanced" tab or something so people don't accidentally click it and then can never figure out how to correct it.
Also, if the hide tray icon is set, caffeine should start with the preferences dialog already open so the user can still easily set their preferences and turn the tray icon back on in case the accidentally set that option.
