    def __init__(self, icon, parent=None):
       QtGui.QSystemTrayIcon.__init__(self, icon, parent)
       menu = QtGui.QMenu(parent)
       exitAction = menu.addAction("Exit")
       self.setContextMenu(menu)
       QtCore.QObject.connect(exitAction,QtCore.SIGNAL('triggered()'), self.exit)

    def exit(self):
      QtCore.QCoreApplication.exit()

def main():
   app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

   w = QtGui.QWidget()
