[opensuse] KDE System Tray
Some applications seem to go into the system tray in the KDE4 panel all by themselves - kmix, kgpg, kaffine; some have plugins that can go there - firefox, thunderbird. But what about other applications in general? It would be nice to have a few thigns like kcalc and ksnapshot there. If I go into the menu editor there is a box in the entry for ksnapshot labelled "put in system tray". If I "X" it, and save then .... no, ksnapshot does NOT appear in the system tray. Is this another of those "gaps" where KDE4's new code-base is still catching up to what was in KDE3 or am I doing something wrong? -- People who love sausages, respect the law, and work with IT standards shouldn't watch any of them being made. -- Peter Gutmann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How do you do this in KDE 3 ? I haven't been able to throw stuff in the system tray like that. *tries* Oooh, neat! Still, I'm not *sure* it does what you want. It only adds a system tray icon for that application when it is running. If you close the application the system tray icon goes away. I'm not sure how useful that really is on applications that aren't designed for the system tray. It should have the same behavior in KDE 4.1, but no guarantees. You can right-click and "Add Item to Main Panel", and I'm fairly sure KDE 4.1 has that feature as well -- although there might be a different way to get the same result--D'n'd being the most likely candidate. That's what I do when I want an application quickly accessible. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
