Public bug reported:

I know that there are good arguments for not having Gufw running all the
time -- IE it doesn't have to run to protect...  However, I personally
really would like to see the icon in the tray (when closing or
minimizing) for the following reasons:  I would like the icon to have
right click options to block all incoming and outgoing, or to allow all
incoming and outgoing.  It a quick way for me to block everything during
long period when I don't need my computer for any external networking
(added sense of security), and I like to allow all incoming and outgoing
so that I can test certain apps or commands that don't work and possibly
may be blocked by the firewall.
