[Win32] how to set a system-tray-icon with ruby?

hi!

i am using ruby-1.8.0 on win32 with fxruby and tk. (installed with the
ruby-installer)
i want to set a system-tray-icon via ruby with fxruby and/or win32-api.
i searched the internet but i didn’t found a way to do this. (because i
never used the win32-api before and i am not sure if i really need it)
so my question is: how can i set a tray-icon (optional with a
right-click-menue) with ruby and fxruby or win32-api?

thank you!

a google search found:

also, wxwindows supports system tray stuff (but i only ever looked at
wx/c++, and a while back).
