It would be nice if it was possible to minimize konversation into a tray icon. I am online with some lists where there are sometimes very infrequent posts and I do not want to keep the konversation window open just to see if someone has posted something. It should be seeable from the tray icon whether there are new messages in any of the chatrooms as well as if there is a message specifically addressed to me available. reported for konversation-20.12.0-1.1.mga8, 1.8.20120 (not 22)
That feature has been available for a very long time, Settings -> Configure Konversation -> Behaviour -> General Behaviour [x] Enable System Tray. In addition you can also configure konversation to mark the taskbar entry for certain events, e.g. a highlight, which makes this visible without needing a tray icon.
I have tested it. Konversation does in deed show a tray icon with these settings. However if you close the main window the program will terminate. If there is already a tray icon there could be an option 'stay active if the window is closed'. Thx anyway for pointing me at the right settings configuration dialogue.

However if you close the main window the program will terminate. Not reproducible, here when I quit the app when systray is enabled there is even a dialogue specifically telling me that konversation will keep running in the systray, and it does that, as expected.
