Hello Mark, Jon,
I've made a minimalist patch that does what we planned: - add support for a command-line switch: -D (also modifies the usage text) if such switch is passed (for instance: licq -p qt-gui -- -D): - the dock icon group box that contains the dock icon settings are greyed in the options dialog, so the user cannot change such options, and the original options are kept untouched when saved/loaded - it prevents from initializing the dockicon-specific code (// set up appicon and docking, code supplied by Mark Deneed) I've tested w/o the switch and with it w/ current CVS, under GNU/Linux, and could not find any noticeable side effect. You will find a `diff -urN` patch in attachment, please apply from qt-gui/ dir with the following command: `patch -p0 < licq-CVS-20050215-disable-dockicon.patch`, then `make install` in qt-gui/src/. Please test and report any issue!
