Yeah, if I do that the systray gets ugly, with that weird

the whole "do I currently have something running that's hidden in

scissors icon.
From an architectural point of view, it would be more appropriate
for klipper to be just the GUI to the clipboard, while the
functionality of keeping the text around after the source app quits
should have no representation in the systray. Quitting klipper
should only remove the icon, not the core functionality.
Why not tackle this the configuration way? If I understand you
correctly you want klipper to run, but not to show an icon in the
systray. If you right-click on the up-arrow next to the system tray
you can get the configuration dialog. There, under Entries, you can
set Klipper to hide its icon.
Already mentioned this in my post. I don't do that because in that case
an arrow/triangle appears on the systray that takes up a whole line on
its own (I'm using a vertical panel.) That's worse than having the icon
to begin with.
And I usually want all systray icons to show. I don't like hiding and
guesswork ("hm I wonder what I have running in there"). The real
problem here is that KDE doesn't provide the needed functionality itself
in its core, but rather needs a program to do it. This strikes me as a
bit kludgy and hackish.
