I did a little more poking around. grep through your collected settings files and scripts for any mention of ksystraycmd, because calling it for every program does not seem to be default setup. The man page says: ksystraycmd - Allows any application to be kept in the system tray I have never seen an instance of this thing running on my system that I can recall, probably because I have no interest in using the systray as a mini-taskbar. So you must have set this up on purpose, and you may need to change the options being passed to the program (it has a fair number) to get rid of your "ghost icons". Or there may be a bug in the program itself, unless it's a lot more commonly used than I think it is. (Or you can just schedule your pkill command to run from cron periodically.) E.
