Systemtray icon for konqueror?
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
I am using Konqueror often, like many other people. Therefore I open and close it many times a day. Most used apps are in my systemtray. They popup very fast when I need them, and hide then again.
So why not make the Konqueror able to show the systemtray icon. It woukd be handy as changing the music in AmaroK! Well it is true that apps in the systemtray are allways running, but they have opened only one instance.
So what dou you think people?

Just go into Kcontrol and enable the preload option. THEN add a normal Konqueror icon right next to the system tray.
The result is exactly the same

It seems that GUI has to load every time afterall. But if you try AmaroK it is very different and faster, as the window just hides and shows, but it's still there.
O, and if you open a new window, konqueror doesn't remember the previous location!
And I use aliases for all important apps on my F buttons, as F4 button for Konqueror!

However, alltray allows "close button reduces window to tray", ksystraycmd does not!

then link the .desktop file of the menu entry to ~/.kde/Autostart and konqueror will start with kde and place itself into you systray.
An easier idea is to place an icon on kicker with this command:
kfmclient openProfile filemanagement
then go to kcontrol and tell kde to start konqueror with kde and let at least 1 konqueror process running.
This will give you the result you want, and keeps your systray clean...

O and with multiple windows... remember the popup that shows when you click onto a groupe task? The same could be done here, when clicking onto systemtray icon.

And you have konqueror in your system tray. I guess that's what you meant, if I understood you correctly.

open at time (usually 2-3), how would this
work? having more than one konqueror icon
in systemtray would mean wasting space,
but having just one would mean that clicking
the systray icon all the konqueror windows would pop....
Also I' just happy with preload and the
quicklaunch bar, but this is personal opinion.
