Bug 188866

Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 (Gentoo 4.3.2-r3 p1.6, pie-10.1.5)
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hello,

Right now on kde-4.2.2 a dummy application that uses plain KSystemTrayIcon has the following behavior:
- app show on current desktop, not obscured
  - click on taskbar entry => minimize to taskbar
  - click on system tray => minimize to tray
- app on current desktop, obscured
  - click on taskbar entry => raise, focus
  - click on system tray => raise, focus
- app hidden in systray, not showing or minimized anywhere
  - click on systray => show, raise, focus on current desktop
- app shown on other desktop, minimized:
  - click on taskbar entry => move user to app's desktop
  - click on systray => move user to app's desktop
All this is fine and consistent

But:
- app shown on other desktop, NOT minimized:
  - click on taskbar entry => move to app's desktop, un-minimize raise focus
  - click on systray => hide app in systray

This last behavior is a bit surprising and is the only inconsistency I can find between taskbar and systray handling (appart from the very first point which is obviously what is expected).

Browsing the bugs for systray, there appears to be some demand for having this behavior more consistent, i.e. if the window is shown on another desktop and the user clicks on its systray, move to that desktop (raise/focus as necessary).

I'll attach a patch for kdelibs/kdeui/util/ksystemtrayicon that should do exactly that.

Would this be acceptable?

Apps that already override systray behavior by not giving a parent widget should be entirely unaffected if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for reading!
