Description Thomas Zander 2005-10-30 22:24:00 UTC 
Version:           3.4.92 (using KDE 3.4.92 (beta2, >= 20051010), compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13.2

To reproduce;
start an application (like xmms)
use your task overview app of choice and select the 'to tray' item (I used kasbar).
Notice how your application's window is removed and how an icon shows up in the systray.

Click the item in the systray.
Notice how the windows is showing again and how the item is also present in the tasklist (again kasbar).
Repeat the 'to tray' action.

I now have 2 icons in my systray, I expected to have just one.  A merge would be nice...

this is a kasbar bug, not a kicker bug. it's also one of those "look, i can shoot myself (mostly harmlessly) in the foot!" bugs. which is to say i won't be spending any time on this one until those are the only sorts of bugs left.

perhaps what kasbar ought to do is set the "skip taskbar" flag on the window when it sends it to the tray so that it doesn't appear repeatedly in the taskbar. though that would be slightly odd as well. or maybe it should just stop providing these hacks that are impossible to get right.

it actually uses ksystraycmd to accomplish this, btw, and there doesn't seem to be any clean way of knowing if that app is still in the tray or not.

Kasbar is no more developed and it will not be ported on KDE4. Kasbar bugs are being closed as "UNMANTAINED".

For specific kasbar feature which doesn't exists in the new KDE4 please open a new wish for KDE4. :-)

Many thanks.
