           Summary: application pops up on login and disappears from system
                    tray
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: 0.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kjobviewer
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mark2776 yahoo com


Version:           0.1 (using KDE 3.5.3, Debian Package 4:3.5.3-1 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16-2-686

Here is a scenario:

I run kjobviewer manually (because I want it permenantly in the system tray).
I click on "Keep window permenant" (I think that this is not the option that I want because I don't want to "Keep the window permentant" but rather keep the system tray icon permenant...).
I close kjobviewer and it is in the tray.
I logout.
I login.
Kjobviewer is restored with the rest of the session but IT IS OPEN. It was not open when I logged out. Moreover, the "keep window permenant" toggle is not OFF altough I explicitly clicked it on.
In a second or so (I assume when it sees that there are no jobs) it disappears from the desktop and also from the tray.

A few more issues:
1. The "keep the window permenant" belongs in the configuration dialog and NOT on the main screen. Users look for configuration options in the configuration dialog and not on the main screen. I was damn lucky to find it there.
2. I don't know what "keep the window permenant" means. I know what "keep permenanly in the system tray" means. A lot of kde programs have that option. But I have never seen a program with "keep window permenant".

Thanks
