Already mentioned this in my post.  I don't do that because in that case 
an arrow/triangle appears on the systray that takes up a whole line on 
its own (I'm using a vertical panel.)  That's worse than having the icon 
to begin with.

And I usually want all systray icons to show.  I don't like hiding and 
guesswork ("hm I wonder what I have running in there").  The real 
problem here is that KDE doesn't provide the needed functionality itself 
in its core, but rather needs a program to do it.  This strikes me as a 
bit kludgy and hackish.
