Hi, I recently removed the klipper applet from my panel. When I realized that this shutdown the klipper application entirely and the scripts I use to manipulate the clipboard stopped working, I decided to restart the klipper applet. However, now it's in its own section of the panel and I cannot seem to get it to merge into or reside within the existing panel section that holds all the other applet and application icons (not the taskbar, things like the Gaim and KSetiSpy icons). Does anyone know how I can get the klipper icon into the other icon section? Thanks. Randall Schulz

Remove the klipper applet and just run "klipper" from a command line and you'll see it back where it belongs

As I mentioned, running "klipper" from the command lines does allow its icon to share the section of the panel used by other such icons, but the down-side is, apparently, that it does not auto-start with KDE, this way. Do you (or does anyone) know how I can have it both ways? Thanks. Randall Schulz

Have you tried looking in KMenu Edit? For each application there is an option to place it permanently in the system tray. Donald On Friday 29 October 2004 22:54, Randall R Schulz wrote:

At the moment, what I've done is to quit Klipper manually (not automatically by logging out). It then asks me if it should be started automatically when I log in. I said yes. I'll see if that serves to get klipper started automatically when I log in to KDE. If not, I'll experiment with the options in KMenuEdit, though I'm not sure its "Place in system tray" does not strike me as being the same as "run automatically upon login." Randall Schulz

Just for info all the programs that are in the system tray when I logout/ save session are started again when I log in to KDE. Have you tried a new user or tried starting klipper from the kde menu and not the command line as that may have a difference. Andrew On Saturday 30 Oct 2004 16:08, Randall R Schulz wrote:

This had the intended effect. Klipper is once again starting automatically upon KDE startup and it is in the same applet icon group as all the others. Randall Schulz

Just as an FYI, so you can make yourself easier understood in future, that "applet icon group" isn't about applets at all. It's called the "systray" in KDE (the corresponding area in gnome is called the 'notification area')
