I *did* unlock the panel; I did try to configure the systay/icons; I did try
to lock again.
Please see that line where I write
N.B. the following words:
I
don't have the option to configure the systray!
Unlock the panel if locked and right click the bar that appears to the left
of the systray. Then click Configure
Sorry, that doesn't happen here. As I explained, the option doesn't appear.
This is when kicker locked up. This happens almost every time that I mess with
the lower panel, hence doing anything with ksystray may also involve similar
risks.
For all your good advice about unlocking the panel and then configuring, it
just does not happen here. I can unlock the panel, then things get messed up,
and I never get to those happy results that you promise.
For now, I am
still trying to work out just how ksystray works, and why
certain applications call it to open (and create those ghost icons), and
why other don't. When I get more information, I will post again.
There is functionality to create application with systray capabilities.
So if you want to know how it works look at ksystray.h

Thank you, I will add this to my reading list, as I am researching ksystray,
as well as grep commands.
BTW it is unfortunate to read what happened with your
bios pwd and so on.
Not to worry, all is well again, except of course that I don't like how this
ksystray works.
