I did go and make a pull request on Invent for the fix @
https://invent.kde.org/network/ktorrent/-/merge_requests/1. Don't think anyone
with access is paying attention to Gitlab yet.

Were coming on the four year mark that I reported this and nobody ever fixed
it, so heres the fix after an hour counting show() calls on GUI to make sure I
wasn't missing something obvious with a one liner fix like this.

main doesn't need to show the GUI because GUI::loadState will already show the
window whenever its appropriate on startup. This redundant call after
constructing GUI just means the window always shows and happens after the check
to start in the tray.

Removing it means the logic in loadState actually dictates if the window is
shown on startup or not. Tested it with all the combinations of options - works
as intended from what I can see.

Yes it works for me like this:
Ktorrent never appears on the taskbar, either after startup, or after
minimizing and restoring. It only appears in the tray. When restoring the
window opens and does not appear in the taskbar.
If the dialog is opened from the application menu when the window is open, it
looks good if it opens with the menu that appears by pressing the right mouse
button on the tray icon, the dialogs appear minimized.

What you get is that it does not appear open when you start the pc
What you get is that it never appears on the taskbar

Skip taskbar
Toggle whether to display the window in the taskbar.

Oh, and Size & Position is also applied when Ktorrent gets restored from the
tray icon, which means it always gets restored minimized.

This doesn't work as intended. After these steps Ktorrent never appears in the
taskbar, neither after start, nor after minimizing and restoring.

Size & Position workaround has the tendency to affect other Ktorrent windows
beside the main window. For example, the dialog for adding a new torrent gets
created minimized. You have to create a very specific rule to match just the
main window (in my case, I have to match the window title, and I'm not sure how
stable the title is).

In debian 10 the problem persist.

In this link
(https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-start-programs-minimized-to-system-tray/48159/6)
I found an workarround

In application settings for it (in Window Rules) (click right buttom in title
bar of ktorrent)

Size & Position: minimized - apply initially 
Arrangement & Access: skip taskbar - apply initially

I have found a better workaround. You can download my script at
https://github.com/Ashark/Ashark-bin/blob/master/ktorrent-window-closer and set
kde to autostart it.
The main idea is to run wmctrl -x -c "ktorrent" command, which closes ktorrent
window.
Now it behaves exactly as expected: no window at startup (at all, not 
minimized to task manager), but still running in tray.

Why there is no such option to start KTorrent in tray? For example, in Kopete
there is checkbox "Start with hidden main window" in Behavior settings. I would
like to see the same checkbox in KTorrent.
I have also found Bug 251864, but they suggested that ktorrent was double
starting and because of that its window appeared (second calling of ktorrent
just showed ktorrent window of already running application instead of launching
second instance of application). It is not a case for me, because I do not have
ktorrent in autostart applications, so it is starting once when session is
restoring after login in kde.

As a partial workaround, I have done the following: 
Right click on the window title ->  More Actions -> Special Application
Settings... New window will appear. Go to "Size & Position" tab and enable
checkbox "Minimized", choose "Apply Initially" and enable "yes" radio button.
Then press OK button.

Now KTorrent window will be minimized in task manager every startup. But still
it will not be completely hidden in system tray and you need to close minimized
window by right clicking in task manager. At least this workaround makes your
desktop less cluttered at startup (which is especially annoying when you reboot
often).

I'm also experiencing this. Kubuntu 18.04, Ktorrent 5.1.0. Oddly, attempts to
activate the window elicit a stale notification warning about attempting to add
a duplicate torrent. When I asked Kubuntu not to notify me of those events, it
started warning me instead that "preferences" is a malformed URL. It also keeps
sending erroneous notifications that a particular large file I'm downloading
(70GB) is finished downloading. Strange stuff. Seems like it's having trouble
transitioning out of error states, like it didn't release a warning it
broadcast earlier to ibus so every interaction it thinks is an error condition.

This is still happening! It bugs me that a KTorrent window opens every single
time upon startup. I might stop it from autostarting due to that, which means
I'd stop seeding. I don'T want to do that, but why is such a seemingly simple
issue still not fixed?

I'm experiencing the same issue, that KTorrent always starts up with a full
window, whereas I'd like it to start minimized in the tray. Unfortunately I'm
not familiar with the code base so I'm unlikely to be of much help fixing the
bug, but I suppose this is some kind of independent confirmation that it does
happen.
