[Greasemonkey] How to ad an icon to the Status bar?

[Bill Donnelly]

I don't think that is possible. You would have to compile your GmScript
into an extension and then enhance it. (maybe someday that could be an
enhancement -- adding an icon and telling it what function to execute --
or it could be an interesting extension by itself)

Or you could use bookmarklets. Although I think there are security
issues when making GmScript functions callable from a bookmarklet.
(I am confused at this point what the complete ramifications of using
unsafeWindow are -- as far as I can see, it's not fully documented anywhere,
especially not understandably)

You can also put the complete code in the bookmarklet itself. I also use
the FavIcon Picker extension to create a bookmarklet toolbar using the
Bookmarks Toolbar Folder.
