Hi all, i've began to implement some pieces of the new systemtray spec (i'm trying to recall what we discussed and decided, so maybe still not perfect), for now i have
a kded that watches all the apps that want a systray entry (to make it work across different plasma sessions) this is in playground under plasma and is called SystemTrayDaemon and exposes a dbus object called SystemTrayWatcher with the org.kde.SystemTrayDaemon interface (wonder if it's the best name for it, maybe everything SystemTrayWatcher or else?) a protocol in the systemtray that for now just registers/unregisters icons that won't do nothing based on what SystemTrayDaemon does it's composed by a DBusSystemTrayTask subclasses Task and rapresents the icon DBusSystemTrayProtocol subclasses Protocol and listens to SystemTrayDaemon to know what icon create/destroy this thing is still uncommitted unfortunately this basic thing works fairly well by now, what is totally missing of course is the big part, the comunication infrastructure with the app (don't even remember the details of the whiteboard right now) but i would be really happy already if i could manage to get in a reliable way the add/remove of icons, since is not a thing that is harmful for the rest (all the rest of the systray is unchanged, layouting of generic Plasma::Icon seems flawless luckily :) so what would need to go in workspace would be the daemon and the protocol (biggest issue perhaps having good names) not too confident making a branch would work (did never work until now, for things like the systray refactor and the taskbar refactor...)
