Description nah 2005-02-28 21:34:35 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.11-default

add two application shortcuts to the panel (one tiny that loads quick and another one that takes a bit longer to load)
right click on the one which takes longer to load  -> choose "properties" -> Application ->"Advanced Options" and tick the "Place in system tray" then click "OK" as many times it takes to close all windows.
now launch the application which has the *place in system tray* set and quickly afther that launch the other application.

now the bug - the tiny app which loaded faster gets placed in the system tray instead of the app which had the *place in the system tray* set and is still loading.
now when both of the applications are loaded and running -right click the *wrong* applications icon in the system tray and choose "Undock" - it will instead close the app which had the *place in system tray* set.

you have to provide the window title to ksystraycmd to make it grab the right window. evidently another textbox is required here. however, this isn't a kicker bug, it's in kdelibs/kio/kfile/. reassigning it where it belongs.

How do i do that? i've been trying to run k3b with --window and it doesn't work

ksystraycmd --window k3b wrb

i run xprop and tryied all probable names

also, why doesn't --window "*" work with any application?

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.

I met a similar bug, I don't know why but sometimes often the systemtray mix up and superpose icons, see the attached.

Haven't seen this. Can be closed imho.
Comment 8 darkfish 2013-08-26 03:47:13 UTC 
This happens in KDE 4.8.5+
Users have also reported it for KDE 4.9+
"--window regexp" doesn't help me with Java based applications.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
