Ban icons from systray

Question

I have an application, which has a systray-icon. I want to make the icon disappear, without uninstalling the app. It should still keep on running in the background.

Thanks for your help. kl

The program alarm-clock-applet can be built without indicator support, as indicated on the project page:

instead of ./configure use ./configure --disable-indicator.

It solves my problem, but not the general question. Thanks.
