Dear Bill,
Am Samstag, 11. April 2020 schrieb William Morder via trinity-users:
I know it's a trivial complaint, but it's
still annoying that when I
run most apps, duplicate "ghost" icons appear in my system tray,
What are these "ghost" icons and where (from which program) do they come
from?
There are some config files which I believed might do
the trick:
/home/<USER>/.kde/share/config/systemtray_panelappletrc
/home/<USER>/.trinity/share/config/systemtray_panelappletrc
In my old KDE3 configuration (or so I *believed* that
I remembered),
I just removed ksystraycmd from this line:
[HiddenTrayIcons]
Hidden=ksystraycmd
and presto! it was gone. But now it doesn't seem to work.
Are you sure that this Option switched off *all* icons from all programs
globally?
Does anybody have a clue about how to suppress these
ghost icons?
(And, by extension, where are our configuration files, and how do we
alter them?)
The only places I could find where there are options to either show/put
an icon in the systray or not are in config files of specific programs:
$ cd .trinity/share
$ grep -ri Tray * # output trimmed
config/kteatimerc:UseTrayVis=true
config/kgetrc:systemtrayquitKGet=false
config/kmplayerrc:Dock in System Tray=true
config/tdewalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitDienstprogramm für digitale
Brieftasche=false
config/kmailrc:SystemTrayEnabled=true
config/kmailrc:SystemTrayPolicy=ShowAlways
config/kmailrc:systemtrayquitKMail=false
config/kopeterc:Show Systemtray=true
config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification=true
config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification Left Click Opens Message=true
config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification Set Current Desktop To Chat
View=true
config/kmldonkeyrc:systemtrayquitKMLDonkey=false
config/kmldonkeyrc:CloseToTrayIcon=true
config/kmldonkeyrc:ShowTrayIcon=true
config/kmixrc:TrayVolumeControl=true
config/krusaderrc:Start To Tray=false
config/tdenetworkmanagerrc:systemtrayquitKNetworkManager=false
config/kgpgrc:systemtrayquitKGpg=false
config/kxkbrc:systemtrayquitKDE-Dienstprogramm für die Tastatur=false
config/kxkbrc:systemtrayquitTDE-Dienstprogramm für die Tastatur=false
config/uiserverrc:ShowSystemTray=false
config/kwalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitDienstprogramm für digitale
Brieftasche=false
config/kwalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitKDE Wallet Manager=false
config/kshutdownrc:systemtrayquitKShutDown=false
config/kjobviewerrc:systemtrayquitKJobViewer=false
So maybe you can't globally prevent all programs running inside TDE from
placing icons in the systray but only switch that off on a per program
basis.
If that is the case you still might find an option like that within the
program you are using and which you don't want to place an icon in
systray.
I don't know if any of this applies to your situation with "duplicate
ghost icons", but I thought I'd give it a try to help.
If it doesn't you can do what I once did to find a bug in my TDE
configuration:
1. create a new user (Don't name him/her "test" with password
"test" ;)
2. Can you observe the phenomenon under the new (unconfigured) user? If
not:
3. Log out from the new user account, copy one of the relevant config
files after another into the corresponding .trinity/* directory of the
newly created user and see if the phenomenon reappears after the next
login. Then you would know in which file the option is set and you
could compare these old/new config files.
HTH
Kind regards,
Stefan
