System tray icon can be set to 5 different pictographs according to the
connection status. One for disconnected state (not associated with the
network, or not connected with the wpa_supplicant service), and four for
connected status (showing the signal strength on the receiver).
By default this functionality is disabled. The reason for this, is the
fact, that the underlaying approach of this functionality is poll based,
which might be considered as a non-efficient one. Update interval has to
be set explicitly by the user with '-m<seconds>' command line argument.
Status icon names are based on various Gnome icon packs (e.g., Faba).
When icon can not be found, default one is shown (wpa_gui logo).

If tray icon messages are perceived as disturbing, one can pass `-q`
parameter on the command line to disable them permanently.

Show associated network SSID in the tool tip message of the
application's tray icon. When network is not associated, then simple
"(not-associated)" message is shown.

When trying to build wpa_gui (Qt4 version) from openembedded it fails
because Qt4 is compiled without session manager and thus wpa_gui fails
to compile.
I attached a patch, that enables compiling without Session Manager (via
preprocessor) if it is not compiled into Qt4; otherwise, it behaves as
it does right now.
I checked to build on my host (Debian unstable, Session Manager
enabled) and openembedded (Session Manager disabled).
This provides some initial functionality for showing peer information,
i.e., showing information about other devices that has been discovered.
Currently, information is only available in the AP mode (list of
associated stations), but this is expected to increase in the future
(e.g., show the current AP in station mode, other stations in IBSS,
etc.). Furthermore, there will be actions available for doing things
like providing a WPS PIN for a station.
This makes wpa_gui remember whether it was only in the tray when the
session was terminated and starts only in the tray if session manager
restarts it automatically.
"Add interface" command in File menu can now be used to add a new
network interface to running wpa_supplicant (using INTERFACE_ADD control
interface command). In addition, the network interface is added into
Windows registry (with skip_on_error) for future use. This functionality
is currently enabled only for Windows builds. The user is also prompted
about the possibility of adding an interface if no interfaces are
enabled. This makes it easier to get started without having to touch
registry manually.
wpa_gui will now ask user whether the wpasvc service should be started
if it is not running. In addition, File menu has items for starting and
stopping the service.
The specific AP (BSSID) can now be selected through scan results for
WPS (WPS pushbutton on the network configuration dialog). When a BSSID
is selected, AP device PIN (e.g., from a label) can be used to configure
the AP by acting as a Registrar.
Allow application to be started in the system tray only when started with
the `-t' command line argument.

When the system tray icon is created, qApp's setQuitOnLastWindowClosed
property is set to false, therefore do _not_ ignore widget close events, or
else wpa_gui will refuse to exit when the window manager is logging out.
While at it, remove WpaGui::fileExit() and connect fileExitAction to
quit().

Add system tray icon support to wpa_gui-qt4. The tray icon remains quiet
when the main dialog is visible, so it should not cause too much pain for
more conservative users of wpa_gui. The addition involves the following
changes:
* when closing wpa_gui via window manager close box, wpa_gui close event is
ignored and it is minimised to system tray. A status message is displayed
(or popup dialog box if tray messages are not supported) to provide a
visual hint that the program is still running in the background.
* add File->Exit slot handler to facilitate application quit from main
dialog
* provide a context menu with a short list of useful actions
* show/hide main dialog when icon is triggered (single click)
* ensure main dialog is visible when event handler or scan results is
chosen from tray icon context menu
* show tray messages on connected and disconnected events, display a status
message a few seconds after connected events
