Minimizing programs to system tray
Hello.
Recently I found urgent to have Thunderbird minimized to system tray. I mean – why do I have to fire it up once I ‘presume’ I got mail. Having it in taskbar is kind of uncool too. Solution is flexible and was totally easy to find. First of all – get you terminal client ready.
sudo apt-get install kdocker
This command will install nifty tool for minimizing apps. Start the software. I do that with Alt + F2 combination (and entering ‘kdocker’) but I’m sure it can be found somewhere under K menu too. Should be under ‘Utilities’.
Now simply click on the program you want to minimize. And yep, that’s it! Sorry for the long post but I didn’t feel like writing a 15 words one. Until next time. Oh and one more thing – it’s based to Kubuntu but it’s no problem to do that on other distros. Commands may vary but those are not too different.

Hello,
I’m Susan, of the TechnoSnack’s team and I wish to inform you that we are opening a new blog aggregator about Computers & Internet news.
We put it on-line some hours ago and the link is: http://www.technosnack.com.
The main objective of this project is creation of a “virtual window” of information about Computers & Internet world, with news about Linux, Windows, Mac, Open sources, Security, Graphics, Symbian and more on…
The key feature is that news come directly from blogosphere. We wish to show a preview of posts, with a link “Read more…” to signed blogs. If users are interested in news, they can read entire post directly from your blog. Simple, just as a snack!
So, the different signed blogs can increase their visibility and reach more visitors, all over the world!
We think that in a little of time it can send more visitors to signed blogs, contributing to diffusion of know-how about Computer and Technology world.
Are you interested in this idea, with your blog?
If yes, then you can register your blog, using the specific “Registration Form”!
Bye!
TechnoSnack’s Team
