Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux Placing applications in system tray generally works via "properties->application->advanced options [v] place in system tray". But dolphin not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Click on application launcher, search for dolphin, drag it to the desktop in folderview mode. right click on the dolphin icon and select: "properties->application->advanced options" check "place in system tray". double clik on the dolphin icon. Actual Results: There's no icon in system tray. Expected Results: Dolphin icon in system tray Even changing the command to "sh -c dolphin" doesn't work.
Maybe you have to start it with the "--nofork" option.
Worked like a charm with that option, thank you very much. I'm unsure about what to do with this 'bug' now. Is the nofork option to be considered as a workaround or this behaviour is to be expected? In both cases i think the usability is compromised because it doesn't work "out of the box".
Unfortunately there's no doubt. Using --nofork option works for a single dolphin instance, if i associate the folder mimetype with "dolphin --nofork" it will work only the first time, next instances will refuse to load giving this: KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus service. Probably already running.
Not sure if this can be handled in Dolphin itself, I guess it is a deficiency of the current KDE libraries.
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
