hide window from taskbar
The following problem arose when I tried to get LICQ to behave like ICQ for Windows:
Whenever the window is open it shows in the taskbar, which I don't want, because it takes space there and I already have a docking Icon in the taskbar.
When I start the program I can prevent it from being shown in the taskbar by starting it with
kstart --skiptaskbar [prog-name]
However, when I open the program window later, it appears in the taskbar again. How can I hide it from the taskbar forever?
The same feature would be interesting for KMix. There is absolutely no need for to show the window in the taskbar, because it already has the docked icon serving the same purpose.
Is there any way to prevent kicker from showing a certain window in the taskbar?
Best Regards,
Guti
Well if you want to remove progs from showing in the task bar you could change that in the taskbar -->properties and I can't remember from the top of my head which one off the setting you need to change, but it is only a tick in the box. Also have you tried kopete --> http://apps.kde.com/uk/0/info/vid/7913 I found it brilliant.

I don't want to remove all progs from the taskbar, I just want this one window not to be shown. I don't see an option for that in the taskbar settings.
Kopete seems interesting, but doesn't support file transfer yet.
Ok, I will have a look at it later on, and if I find a way I'll post it. And also you could try out gaim I do believe that they support ft. the gaim address is http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ . Have fun meanwhile.

I don't think you can configure it directly in kicker. But in your kmenu you can change the command for licq and put 'kstart --skiptaskbar'. It should work. But maybe there is already an option in licq.

If not you could write the licq Qt-Plugin author and ask for it.

Hi guti, I have tried and I can't do it, as I mentioned before it may be a idea in trying one of the other ICQ clients out there as there is quite a few now. Good luck with your search. :arrow:

Hi Guti,
Did you ever solve this? I'm want to do the same thing, but with Kopete. I have temporarily "solved" it by setting the taskbar preferences not to show tasks other than minimized windows... not a perfect solution but ..
The thing is, I remember that it was possible to configure this behaviour earlier. Could be KDE 2.x something or possibly even earlier than that - in the 1.x series. You could set windows not to appear in taskbar by supplying the windowtitle or something like that. I'm 100% sure of this. I can't remember where in KDE it was configured though, and it seems to be gone now for some oddball reason.
Plz post back if you find anything regarding this!
Edit: I use KDE 3.1.0 on Mdk 9.1. The kstart --skiptaskbar command must be broken or something, because it only works the first time you "toggle" the window. Then it shows up on taskbar anyway.
Edit 2: I just upgraded to KDE 3.1.2 and the behaviour is the same. I just let it be sticky on all desktops and don't toggle it to show/hide. That way the task is not visible, since it works the first time you toggle it.
Where do I put my signature?
