Plasma systray jobs default to off?

[Rob Scheepmaker]

Hello everybody,

Currently the plasma systray displays notifications and jobs. Both features can 
be enabled or disabled separately through the plasma-desktop-appletrc. In 4.2 
both default to true. While the notifications work very well and have no real 
regressions compared to the passive popup notifications, the jobs still have 
some usability issues and regressions. We've discussed the systemtray on 
Tokamak and came up with a lot of stuff that can make the way jobs are handled 
a lot better. This won't help for 4.2 though.  
The main problems are that the plasma jobs display less information (no ETA, 
moving directories displays 0B/0B in stead of x/y directories) and the auto 
hiding confuses quite some users who think the job has finished when it's 
hidden, and don't notice that the "i" indicates that there are still jobs 
running.
I think we should, for 4.2.2 either default the display of jobs to off, or find 
a way to fix the problems and regressions. I would like to know what you think 
about this suggestion.

Regards,
Rob
