just as a proof of concept I've modified the source for the applet so that evolution runs hidden in the background, even when there is no visible window. Its a hack, and just mainly meant to show that it can be done, but I've attached the .diff for evolution-indicator.c as a curiosity. (PS. This is the first time I've edited source like this, so be warned. Its terrible. I know its terrible, so don't bother telling me its terrible.)
