Behavior on systray icon clicking

[Martin Klapetek]

Hi,

in KDE Telepathy we get /a lot/ of requests for enabling show/hide contact
list behavior when clicking the presence plasmoid (ie. click - contact list
opens; click again - contact list closes). Adding such feature is trivial,
however after discussing this with Martin Graesslin, he pointed out that is
not the proper way of doing it - the close button on the windeco is meant
for closing windows, not clicking systray icons. While I agree in
principle, pretty much none of the apps behave this way - Amarok,
Clementine, Quassel... - if you click its systray icon, it opens, clicking
it again it closes. Even Klipper, which opens just a QMenu though, behaves
like that.

So here's the question - should we follow the rest of the workspace and be
consistent or should we do it "properly" - clicking plasmoid it opens,
closing is done with close button (possibly followed by fixing other apps)?

Cheers
