But now it doesn't seem to work. Are you sure that this Option switched off *all* icons from all programs globally? > Does anybody have a clue about how to suppress these ghost icons? > (And, by extension, where are our configuration files, and how do we > alter them?) The only places I could find where there are options to either show/put an icon in the systray or not are in config files of specific programs: $ cd .trinity/share $ grep -ri Tray * # output trimmed config/kteatimerc:UseTrayVis=true config/kgetrc:systemtrayquitKGet=false config/kmplayerrc:Dock in System Tray=true config/tdewalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitDienstprogramm für digitale Brieftasche=false config/kmailrc:SystemTrayEnabled=true config/kmailrc:SystemTrayPolicy=ShowAlways config/kmailrc:systemtrayquitKMail=false config/kopeterc:Show Systemtray=true config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification=true config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification Left Click Opens Message=true config/kopeterc:Trayflash Notification Set Current Desktop To Chat View=true config/kmldonkeyrc:systemtrayquitKMLDonkey=false config/kmldonkeyrc:CloseToTrayIcon=true config/kmldonkeyrc:ShowTrayIcon=true config/kmixrc:TrayVolumeControl=true config/krusaderrc:Start To Tray=false config/tdenetworkmanagerrc:systemtrayquitKNetworkManager=false config/kgpgrc:systemtrayquitKGpg=false config/kxkbrc:systemtrayquitKDE-Dienstprogramm für die Tastatur=false config/kxkbrc:systemtrayquitTDE-Dienstprogramm für die Tastatur=false config/uiserverrc:ShowSystemTray=false config/kwalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitDienstprogramm für digitale Brieftasche=false config/kwalletmanagerrc:systemtrayquitKDE Wallet Manager=false config/kshutdownrc:systemtrayquitKShutDown=false config/kjobviewerrc:systemtrayquitKJobViewer=false So maybe you can't globally prevent all programs running inside TDE from placing icons in the systray but only switch that off on a per program basis. If that is the case you still might find an option like that within the program you are using and which you don't want to place an icon in systray. I don't know if any of this applies to your situation with "duplicate ghost icons", but I thought I'd give it a try to help. If it doesn't you can do what I once did to find a bug in my TDE configuration: 1. create a new user (Don't name him/her "test" with password "test" ;) 2. Can you observe the phenomenon under the new (unconfigured) user? If not: 3. Log out from the new user account, copy one of the relevant config files after another into the corresponding .trinity/* directory of the newly created user and see if the phenomenon reappears after the next login. Then you would know in which file the option is set and you could compare these old/new config files.
