There, it took a bit of fiddling to get ksnapshot to work. I don't usually try
to capture only a section of screen, but generally do a full screenshot.
There are the so-called ghost icons for smplayer, xscreensaver and ksnapshot
itself (that black circle-in-square is my custom icon). The ghost icon in the
systray only offers options to hide, undock and quit; but I can do pkill
ksystraycmd and these go away, yet the programs keep working. Thus, these
icons are useless for me, and I just want to suppress them, so that I don't
keep clicking to make them go away.
Years ago, back in the good ol' KDE3 days, somebody gave me a command or
script or something (the memory is pretty hazy), and I put it is a shell
script or somewhere that I can find or recall now, and it went away, and I
didn't think about it again until I started running TDE a few years ago, and
it's been bugging me ever since. I know from experience that I can make this
thing go away, but I just can't remember how, aside from constantly running
pkill ksystraycmd.
If it worked then, it ought to work now, if only I could remember how I did
it.

As I said at the start, these are not the icon
for the application
itself, but rather a kind of ghost icons that have something to do with
docking in the systray. When I find another, I'll try to get a
screenshot, but I don't know if I can get a screenshot of the bit about
hiding or docking in the systray.
Why do you suspect docking to systray? And if so, what happen if you click
on the icons?
It seems strange to have "ghost" icons. Icons should either belong to some
applications or show docked applications. In any case, something should
happen when they are clicked, IMO.
