I don't usually try to capture only a section of screen, but generally do a full screenshot. There are the so-called ghost icons for smplayer, xscreensaver and ksnapshot itself (that black circle-in-square is my custom icon). The ghost icon in the systray only offers options to hide, undock and quit; but I can do pkill ksystraycmd and these go away, yet the programs keep working. Thus, these icons are useless for me, and I just want to suppress them, so that I don't keep clicking to make them go away. Years ago, back in the good ol' KDE3 days, somebody gave me a command or script or something (the memory is pretty hazy), and I put it is a shell script or somewhere that I can find or recall now, and it went away, and I didn't think about it again until I started running TDE a few years ago, and it's been bugging me ever since. I know from experience that I can make this thing go away, but I just can't remember how, aside from constantly running pkill ksystraycmd. If it worked then, it ought to work now, if only I could remember how I did it. Bill
