           Summary: KMail system tray icon flickers in and out of
                    existence when there's unread mail
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.6 beta4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Leon.N.Maurer.08 at alum.dartmouth.org


Version:           4.6 beta4 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

(This is really for Kontact 4.5.95, which I think is 4.6 beta5, but I didn't
see that listed in the "Application Version" pulldown menu.)

I have the "Only show KMail in system tray if there are unread messages" option
selected in KMail's preferences, and when there's unread mail, the system tray
icon will appear. However, it will briefly disappear then reappear about once a
second, causing the icon to flicker. In fact, it causes much of the system tray
and many of the other widgets to flicker as well since they system tray shrinks
when the KMail icon goes away, and the other widgets momentarily get resized to
fill the other space.

Reproducible: Always
