Back when I used KDE3, I had done *something* to disable the reduplication of
icons in my systray, but I forgot how it was done, and somehow I lost the
config file, or whatever it was that I did to suppress it.
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, thus taking up yet
more space in my desktop. I kill them by running the command pkill
ksystraycmd in a shell, and they go away ... until the next time I start a
new program, and then it's back. I estimate that it takes about five seconds
to kill the ghost icons, but those seconds add up, and according to my
calculations, I have lost about 6 months from my projected lifespan. This is
time that I'd rather spend doing something else.
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.
I looked for some kind of corresponding config file here:
/opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg/
but found nothing. (I'm not even sure that the config files in this folder
perform the same functions as the old config files (which always end in -rc).
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?)
