programms into the system tray

Hi

I have some apps (like Kontact, xmms) always running and my taskbar is always full, so I wonder if there is some way of sending a program icon to the systray.

I couldn't find anything in kstart, any suggestions would be great.

I am running KDE 3.2.1

kstart --tosystray

But a lot of programs can put themselves into the system tray.

Another option is to deactivate display of all application and switch the taskbar to only show the applications of the current desktop.

Thanks, however the first tip won't help. In the case of konqueror it actually sends the whole app to the systray, i.e. one will see "Loc" of the menubar Location and thats it.

Kontact puts another icon in the systray which won't do anything. It still keeps in the taskbar even when using --skiptaskbar in kstart.

My taskbar shows only the application from one desktop already. I know I can make it only show minimized apps but thats not what I want.

Any more suggestions?

Maybe there is some kind of wrapper that can "swallow" an application into a system tray icon.
check kde-apps.org
