Description Alan Jenkins 2008-10-07 16:30:29 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Non-global keyboard shortcuts should not be displayed in menus attached to system tray icons.  If they're not global, there's no way to trigger them.  They're just a waste of horizontal screen space and mind-clutter.

This can bee seen in the Quit menu-items in the following system tray icons:
KNetworkManager 0.2.2
KMix 4.1.2
Amarok 1.4.1.9

Klipper 0.9.7 avoids this with an open-coded Quit action.

It's worst in Amarok, because it has default global shortcuts for some of the menu items.  So you have a list with keyboard shortcuts, and you can use most of them - but not the last one.

I think product plasma fit's that bug more.

this is in KSystemTrayIcon, not plasma.
