Version: (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: SuSE RPMs The newly introduced move-plasmoids-within-the-panel does not let me move the systray. I drag the systray (with some difficulty since it is somewhat hard to not accidently open up say amarok instead...) to where I want it, and as soon as I let go off the mousebutton the tray immediately moves back to its original position. Everything else I've tried moving works (trashcan, kickoff, clock, device notifier, icons, show desktop, show dashboard, pager, logout/login buttons, quickaccess), it's just the systray that refuses to cooperate. Thanks a lot for this! Works great otherwise and very easy to use!
Do you still get this in 4.1?

I am able to move the systray wherever I want, but the main problem for me is that it is really hard to grab the systray in the first place, without activating the application in the tray. I think it would be really important to deactivate the applications in the systray while the panel is modified. Shoudl I make a new bug report out of this?

JFYI: I'm using KDE 4.1.2 on kubuntu 8.10 beta.
I'm not sure that's technically possible (without some REALLY ugly / bug-inducing hacks) with the way the system tray currently works on X11. If the alternative spec (proposed some time ago) ever gets off the ground, we can fix this and a whole host of other system tray bugs. But I'm not holding my breath.
This bug does not seem to be present in Trunk. I could move the system tray at will, both in horizontal and vertical panels. Can the OP test trunk (or maybe a KDE 4.2 Beta) and confirm / deny that the bug still exists? Thanks.
