Background Apps running ONLY in System Tray
Hello
I'm trying for days to run backgoround apps like licq, xmms or lmule ONLY in the System Tray, cause I'd like to have my Taskbar clear. But I can't find a way. In lmule there's a function for docking a icon in the Taskbar, but that doesn't really work. For xmms the same.
I've only KDE 3.0, but I'm going to update. Is there anything done to create such a Sys Tray like in Windows? I'm just missing that.
Thanks
Shaddy
Try kstart
#> kstart --help
for available options
#> kstart --tosystray program
in your case
Just tried
#> kstart --tosystray xmms
works as far as I can tell

Hey thanks a lot, it works almost perfect. But when a window is minimized, it's still in the taskbar.....I tried it with xmms.

Hmm.
You mean when you minimize it through the button in the Windowtitlebar?
I think that's normal behaviour.
"Minimize to Tray" has to be supported by the application itself.
I think you can hide/show the window when clickung on the tray icon.
