Although kdocker (as far as I can work out) is a KDE3 application, it's worked fine up until I installed 4.2 this morning. Now it's evidently incompatible, as running it causes X to go mad and eat up all of my CPU.

So I need a replacement that will allow me to dock a couple of applications in the system tray. Is there anything in 4.2? I can't find any obvious option; there's an app called "alltray" which claims to do this job, but although that does seem to dock, it's invisible in the KDE4.2 tray.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi All,

same problem here. Would be great to get a solution. I used to dock thunderbird, and thats not possible anymore now....

Ciao,

I'm not sure but I think there's a plugin to dock thunderbird on system tray, but I don't know if it runs correctly in KDE4.

Hey everyone!

I just discovered "alltray" which does basically the same job as KDocker. For those who want to try:

That would be the old version. There's Qt4-port of it, and if you use the Qt3-version I would suggest you update to the latest version (if possible, currently 4.3 IIRC) and see if it solves your problem.
