Detailed Description
KDE System Tray Window classThis class implements system tray windows.
A tray window is a small window (typically 22x22 pixel) that docks into the system tray in the desktop panel. It usually displays an icon or an animated icon there. The icon represents the application, similar to a taskbar button, but consumes less screen space.
When the user clicks with the left mouse button on the icon, the main application window is shown/raised and activated. With the right mouse button, she gets a popupmenu with application specific commands, including "Minimize/Restore" and "Quit".
Please note that QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage(..) should not be used for KDE application because the popup message has no KDE standard look & feel and cannot be controlled by KDE configurations. Use KNotification or KPassivePopup instead.

the parent's taskbar icon.
Furthermore, the parent widget is shown or raised respectively when the user clicks on the tray window with the left mouse button.
