Hi Sorry to post this, but I do not know if this problem is specific to SuSE or to KDE. I'm using some GNOME application like gaim-0.61 and gnomemeeting-0.96 under KDE3.1.1 (SuSE 8.2). I like very much to use the applet/system tray of those applications, not to have the main windows all the time. The problem is that when I close another application running in the applet/system tray the main windows of these GNOME applications pop-up. This behavior is not present under GNOME2. Do GNOME and KDE still use different standards to implement the applet feature or what could be the cause of this annoying behavior? Can someone help? Thank you.

Yes. Longer answer: KDE Apps can (if programmed to do that) dock to the KDE Kicker. Gnome Apps can (if programmed to do that) dock to the gnome taskbar. The Gnome taskbar and the KDE Kicker are two absolutely different applications, although they are supposed to do the same task. They are basing on completely different graphic libraries and have a completely different approach to communicate between each other. Greets, Daniel

Although you can dock gnome-apps with ksystraycmd try "ksystraycmd --help" Fab -- fabricemous@xs4all.nl fabrice@kde.nl ~~ http://www.kde.nl vosberg@suse ~~ http//www.vosberg.be

Gaim (gnome2) works absolutely wonderfully...and you tell it in the prefs that it should dock..as soon as you do that *bam* it comes up in the KDE systray. This rocks. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

If you only need ICQ, then licq is my all-time favorite. Perhaps you give it a try. http://www.licq.org Daniel

Perhaps you give it a ->try. http://www.licq.org -> I use to use Kinkatta for AIM and Licq for ICQ but it's so much better having them both in one app. It's just that Kopete is so damn buggy that it drives me nuts. So since GAIM in Gnome2 looks so nice and seems to work quite nice. I think I'll use that until it pisses me off. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

try "ksystraycmd --help"
Cool, didn't know that. Well, it sounds possible, that there could be a kde systray app that provides the API for GNOME docking apps. If you find a GNOME applet that provides KDE docking API, then you can dock KDE apps in gnome, too. But this case would definitively be a GNOMEish one. Greets, Daniel
