> what korganizer icon? is there any? 
replace "korganizer icon" with "taskbar entry" in my sentence :)

> that means. it is able to find the korganizer and hide/exit it when clicked again. 

No, it means it is able to launch an external program (KOrganizer) which
doesn't allow to have multiple sessions running.

You can easily reproduce this : 
- Open a console, run korganizer,
- put it in the background,
- Launch again korganizer in your console. The window will come to the
foreground.
That's what happens when you click on the KOrgac icon. it doesn't bother to
check whether KOrganizer is running (it is not necessary).

> the comparison is not valid. the systray icon is part of kopete and hides/shows the kopete main window -- it is _not_ a separate entity besides kopete itself. 

and what we keep repeating is that the KOrganizer Reminder Daemon (Korgac)
systray icon is NOT a part of Korganizer, and we also wrote that it doesn't
have a GUI because it doesn't _need_ one.

What you expect is controlling an external application (Korganizer) with
another one (Korgac), so yes, the comparison is valid.


> what's the use of this _separate_ program ?
[self-quoting]
allow to enable/disable/suspend/dismiss the reminders and start KOrganizer when
clicked. 
[/self-quoting]

> what else beside korganizer should be associated with this icon?
KOrganizer is not associated with this icon, it is launched when you click on
it.

> why is the functionality not integrated with korganizer
Because Korganizer isn't necessary to have reminders. Only to set them up.
After that, you can safely close it and you won't miss anything.

If you need another reason to have them separated : In fact, you only need a
resource (systemsettings/Advanced User Settings/KDE Resources) to have some
reminder windows. 
Example : it is possible to add a remote resource to receive some Google
Calendar entries and have KOrgac display the reminders for these appointments.
