dbusmenuqt and left-click

[Christian Esken]

Hello Andriy,

I tried your hint to not set associatedWidget for KMix, as KMix has comparable 
requirements.

My problem is now: When I don't set an associated widget, the 
"mimimizeRestore" won't show up in the context menu. Also i cannot call the 
mimimizeRestore() functionality from the KMix dock area popup window, which I 
need.
(It doesn't work, as the KStatusNotifierItemPrivate code operates on the 
associatedWidget Object, which is now undefined).

I am currently considering to copy a lot of code, e.g. from 
minimizeRestore(bool show), but would like to avoid it, as it contains a lot 
of sophisticated #ifdef Q_WS_X11. Copying that code seems so wrong to me, so 
hopefully there is a better way.  See below for more detail.

Any idea is very welcome.

So what I need is:
- Right-click should show menu with mimimizeRestore
- Left-click should "show popup" or "show main window"

And that means
1) I need to do my own left-click handling, even though there is already is an 
associatedWidget.
2) Define own context menu entries, but I still also need the original 
minimizeRestore action in there. I can't do it right now, as i can neither 
call KStatusNotifierItemPrivate::contextMenuAboutToShow(), nor do I have 
access to the essential checkVisibility() method [or possibly 
minimizeRestore(bool show)].
3) I need to execute the regular "left-click = show main window" action
  [something like minimizeRestore(bool show)].

Because of the implmentation details of KStatusNotifierItem(Private), I think 
copying code would currently be neccesary. (It could help, if left-click would 
not be hardcoded to do a minimizeRestore of the associatedWidget object).

Works now, thanks!
