            Bug ID: 496960
           Summary: Akregator does not re-open after closing when the tray
                    icon is disabled
    Classification: Applications
           Product: akregator
           Version: 6.2.3
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: usual.flag1029 at fastmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

When the system tray icon is disabled, I cannot open Akregator after closing it
without killing running `killall akregator`.

This appears to be because the `akregator` process is running in the background
after I close it. However, because the process is running in the background, I
cannot spin up a new process without killing the old one. Furthermore, because
the system tray icon is disabled, I have no access to the original process.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Akregator via menu or command line
2. Turn off the "Show Tray Icon" option in Akregator
3. Close Akregator (via closing the window or ctrl-Q)
4. Try to run Akregator again, from a menu or command line

OBSERVED RESULT

If run from a menu, it appears to start loading akregator (e.g. there is a
bouncing "akregator" icon by my cursor), but this disappears.

If run from a command line, the following message shows:

org.kde.pim.akregator: akregator is already running, exiting.

EXPECTED RESULT

I expect that when I close all of Akregator's windows, or quit the application,
and there is no tray icon present, that this kills the akregator process.

Even if the akregator process is not killed, I expect I should be able to
re-open Akregator's windows by clicking on the menu icon.
