[tde-users] Re: how to suppress icons in systray ? the plot thickens

They all offer, when I right-click on them, options to hide, undock or quit, but from what I have tried, this really only amounts to two options, which is quit or leave it alone. Since I can quit it by just killing the program, or by ctrl-Q or other command, I don't see the point; and undock always just kills the program anyway. So really, of your three choices, there is only one left, which is to leave it alone; which means, logically, that it is no choice at all, that those icons just take up space. But anyway, I have added a screenshot, as evidence of ksystray's lawless behavior. Please see attachment. Those icons represent, respectively, not only kpdf, but also libreoffice, kuickshow, and leafpad; because, when I am writing this sort of document, I transfer from raw text, to office doc, to pdf, and last to a jpeg of the pdf. When I am on a roll, this is what happens. Somehow I will figure out a hack to suppress this irksome imp, once and for all, but in the meanwhile, I put it to the developers and more knowledgeable users out there, why do we have this thing which isn't really all that useful? I myself want my machines to be not only functional, but also pleasing to the eyes (at least, to my own eyes). I realize that others may prefer their industrial drab, but it's my box here. Anyway, somebody asked for a screenshot that demonstrates this deviant behavior, as apparently this would be a bug. So here's the proof. Please see attachment. Bill
