Bug Description

It would be nice if one could specify a custom command to be run when clicking on the applet instead of just offering to open the GMail web interface or run the current default mail client.

I think the change in gm-notify would be quite trivial (just add a third option to labelClick) and I'd be happy to write a patch, but I was hoping someone could help me to add the extra option to gm-notify-config.

I wrote a patch that implements running a custom command if the gconf variable /apps/gm-notify/custom_client is set.

Currently the only way to use this functionality is to set the gconf variable manually as it is not implemented in gm-notify-config yet. It should be quite a quick fix for someone who knows how glade works (which unfortunately I don't).

Please consider including this patch in gm-notify as I'm probably not the only one this feature is useful for.
