So is anything else, that is part of the default KDE startup.

He quits klipper again and chooses "Yes" this time ;)

I run kicker on the left side. And only the wide kicker allows to have two 
system tray apps next to each other, so they consume little space. If I would 
use it in small mode, they would stack up and limit the taskbar space (which 
would also be quite hard to use when you only see an icon for every task).

Well, another option would be to make kicker arrange small applets more 
effectively.
