Description Derek Broughton 2009-01-14 17:08:46 UTC
Version:           0.8 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-11-generic

This _could_ be a duplicate of 88065.
I added Eclipse to the menu (command = /usr/bin/eclipse) and checked "Place in system tray".

On startup, one of two things happen - either nothing gets placed in the tray or the "cashew" icon appears, with only one option - "quit".  If I choose that, my entire panel disappears completely, and I have not figured out a way to get it back.

If I uncheck the box and set the command to do what I _think_ is supposed to be done by checking it:
/usr/bin/ksystraycmd  /usr/bin/eclipse

the results are a little better, but the tray icon is not the eclipse icon.

If I use:
/usr/bin/ksystraycmd --window Pydev --startonshow --keeprunning /usr/bin/eclipse

I get almost what I want (yes, I should be able to make a more generic "--window" option) but even then, right-clicking the tray icon brings up two popups - on top, the correct one for the eclipse application, and under it a second menu with the a title of "? ksystraycmd" and only the quit option.  Clicking on that option will again kill my panel.

I accept this bug.

I have the same or a similar problem with TeamSpeak: When I enable "Place in system tray", I get the plasma cashew as icon and left-clicking on it will kick my panel. Exactly the same happens when I run TeamSpeak through the ksystraycmd.

The issue persists with KDE 4.2.4 (Kubuntu packages)
