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.
You're entitled to your opinion, but from the early days of Linux, the
mantra was "do one thing and do it well", which precludes having all
functionality built into the "core". The fact that some packages,
LibreOffice and Kontact being good examples, try to meet the needs of
people who don't like it that way, doesn't change the basic philosophy.
Then klipper fails by your own standards, because it doesn't do one
thing. It does two. a) It provides clipboard functionality, and b) it
provides a GUI for that functionality. It does do them well, so I guess
it meets 50% of your criteria :-)
