            Bug ID: 428873
           Summary: Move applications from task manager to system tray
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: System Tray
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: l.allu...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.0

This is a feature request. I would like to be able to show selected
applications in the system tray, instead than as a task manager button, when
minimized.

This behavior is very handy for daemon-like applications, where you use the GUI
only upon notifications, such as Thunderbird, a running music player etc.

Currently this behavior can be achieved through third-party programs such as
KDocker. However:

- KDocker and similar programs do not work on Wayland, and AFAIK cannot, due to
protocol restrictions
- Plasmashell would be much easier and more flexible than KDocker for the user.
User shall be able to:
  - right-click on the taskbar button, and "send application to System Tray"
  - define a rule for the application, so that it is automatically started in
the system tray, etc.
