Hi folks,
I wrote a couple of weeks ago that kpowermon opened a full window with its icon, rather than going in the tray.
That was annoying, but today I discover Amarok is doing the same thing. That's MORE annoying, because I really want to use it. So it opens a full window with junk in it, except the center, which has its small tray-sized icon. This in additional to its regular window, of course.
Any ideas what to do about this? This is KDE 4. The majority of apps work just fine, both KDE and Gnome, but a few are misbehaving strangely like this. Again, I did not have the problem before switching to xmonad. I am using the KDE configs in xmonad.

Sadly, the bug is in KDE. They use an undocumented (at least I can't find any references) protocol for their tray icons, rather than the standard protocol that other toolkits use. I believe there was a version of stalonetray that somehow worked around this, but I'm not sure how it works. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
