System tray "close" dialog needs work

[Sébastien Laoût]

By seeing the screenshot (theire is no black border surrounding the
screenshot), aKregator include an old version of the systray dialog.

I am the one who programmed it.
I posted (here) a version that make some checks and don't show the
screenshot if it detects it's not visible...

But nobody replied.

Since not all problems are fixed (and I don't see how to solve them all)
I assumed it's not mature to be included in KDE libs.

I attach the last version of the dialog.
(don't be careful of the name "2": it's just for easy insertion in my
program.)

This is done in that version (part 2. and 3.).
So, this is OK.

The last problem I'l faced to:
I failed to raise the kicker (or other systray manager) if it's hidden:

* I've tryed to use kapp->widgetAt(g) (where g is a corner of the icon
(a QPoint)), but it doesn't work since the widget is not in the current
app (althrouth KSystemTray is a QLabel).
So: no way to test if the kicker is raised/visible or not.

* I also tryed to raise in <in any circumstance>, but it doesn't want:
it is alwayse raised after the dialog is shown, no matter if I call
sleep(1), kapp->proccessEvents() multiple times...

* And the sleep(1) is not acceptable by users!!

This configuration should be rare (ie. windows are allowed to be above
kicker, or systray manager is on the desktop, eg. a SuperKaramba
script...).
But that's not solvable.

Until we use X.Org XComposite extension...

Best regards,

Sébastien Laoût.
