right, so the widget associated with the system tray icon is *always* raised 
and never hidden when this code branch is executed. 

if the widget isVisible (e.g. not hidden, but somewhere on the current 
desktop) and kicker is the topmost window then it will set the widget 
associated with the systray icon as the active window. this happens even when 
that widget is clearly the topmost window, is plainly visible, even has 
keyboard focus.

in other words, clicking on the system tray icon does not hide it.

in the words of monty python, "this is a dead parrot!"

because it shouldn't be raised, it should be hidden. the systray isn't working 
because it never hides the widget.

fine, but it still doesn't hide it ;-)

no, it still doesn't work and for the same reasons.
