Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14) Compiler: Target: x86_64-linux-gnu OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.20-15-generic The big difference between having a systray icon or not is that closing the main window will exit the application if there is no systray icon. For an application like ktorrent; which will most of the time be open for hours without user interaction, the default should be that it shows itself in the systray. I can't speak for all users; but I've had new installs and found myself confused every time when I closed the window and 30 min later wanted to figure out how far the download had progressed, unable to find the systray icon. Concluding that I actually quit the application half an hour ago. Please make the setting to dock in the systray be enabled per default.
