I agree with Nik, especially in the case of SMPlayer. It's a configure
option inside the app itself.
As I said earlier, I do configure some apps to dock themselves in the system
tray, and I want them there. I don't want uninvited guests, nor the
reduplication of those useless ghost icons.
I am pretty sure that I never deliberately configured any apps to do that, but
I could be wrong. Only grep and time will tell.
Will try to get a screenshot of that behavior. It usually happens when I am in
a kind of wild burst of creativity, where I am clicking to open one
application or file after another. Then I might have several different items
open in quick succession, but they all get tagged with the same ghost icon,
whatever it may be, as that's totally random.

this is
strange, because ksystraycmd is a utility to start
applications and keep them running in the systray.
I wonder why you don't find out what is starting smplayer in
ksystraycmd and fix it there instead
But the applications do keep running. It's just those extra ghost icons
that serve no real purpose. I don't want them. > Especially, as I said,

That would be a bug.
Unless you've specifically gone into each app and manually changed its
icon, which sounds really doubtful. Or you have SMPlayer configured to
have multiple instances running at the same time. [Options >> Preferences
> Interface, tab Instances]
If it persists, try to make a screenshot of it with 3+ duplicates. Then
add a bug to bugzilla including which apps are behind the duplicite icons.
Best,
