SUMMARY

System Tray:
1) Click on "V" ->  Settings -> Entries
2) Open the settings of the entry you want to edit

This results in the System Tray's settings window to close. If you mis-clicked or want to edit more settings, you need to go back to step 1), which is kinda annoying.

It'd be better imo if the window stayed open or you had a shortcut in applet's settings window to go the System Tray settings

Agreed, it's kind of annoying. And it doesn't happen when you open System Settings KCMs.

Under the hood, I know what's going on. Only one applet config window can be open at a time, so when you have the System Tray window open, that's one, and when you use it to open another applet's config window, that would be two, so the first one has to close.
