Created attachment 52418 [details] The wrong place where the menu appears. Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.2) OS: Linux In systemtray popup menu, if you invoke an "always hidden" application from currently hidden menu (by a shortcut), it appears in the middle of the screen, instead of nearby systemtray (in_the_middle_of_nothing.png). The problem is, application does not know (at least it does not behave that) that the popup menu is currently hidden and it appears on the place it would appear if the menu would be visible (on_the_right_place.png). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Set an application in systemtray to be always hidden, set a shortcut to it (or use a predefined one), press that shortcut and see where the application menu appears. Actual Results: Application menu appears on the place it would appear if the systemtray menu would be visible. Expected Results: Application menu should appear nearby systray (because the hidden systray menu is there).

(In reply to comment #4) > this fixes the devicenotifier popup placement Thank you very much! I do not compile KDE directly from GIT, I cannot confirm the solution yet, but I will let you know when it is fixed in my distribution. Have a nice day! :)
