If you are going to make a change in the operation of a program,
especially one that is widely used and the change drastically changes
its former usage, then you should have that change noted in the release
notes for starters. Having to look through bug reports for changes that
rightly belong in the release notes is asinine.

Furthermore, right clicking in the system tray does not seem to be
displaying a System Tray Setting. I think it is about time to dump KDE
and try something more stable.
