Can an application's process icon be excluded from the KDE Titlebar?
C++/Qt programmer here, relatively new to Linux (SUSE 11.0 with KDE 4.3.5 "release 0").
Is there any way to specify in code that a program should run without putting an icon in the KDE titlebar?
I'm looking at a situation I've inherited, where two applications are fired up together by a 3rd initialising agent process. One is a full-screen application for air traffic control tracking, and the other is a separate application which fixes a small, undecorated dialog in the upper left corner of the screen, always on top in relation to the full-screen program. This displays a complicated set of status indicators for which information is channelled in both from the full-screen program, and at least one other program source.
As these are two separate processes, they produce two icons in the KDE title bar, like so:
|---------------------|------------------|
| FullScreenProcess | dialog-process |
|---------------------|------------------|
I'm facing a request to make the "dialog-process" icon disappear from the title bar. The only way I can see to make that happen is to take everything related to the status-monitoring application and "somehow" fold it into the framework of the full-screen program, so that they become one process/application. This threatening to be a beast of a job, I need to find out if there's any sort of KDE configuration through code or script, which I might be able to use, to do it. Not optimistic based on several hours' searching, but have to try.
If this isn't the right sub-forum for this, please advise.
