Okay, I managed to reproduce and workaround the phenomenon, though still on the same system.
To reproduce, (I simply need to) log out and log back in. Alternatively, when logged in, zap (ctrl+alt+backspace, if enabled), or change to a tty and do 'sudo service kdm restart'. Once logged back in, it'll detach to its own window. To work around, *log out*, then when logged out restart KDE with 'sudo service kdm restart'. Alternatively, reboot. Key is to properly log out first before working on getting back into X. Once logged back in, it'll dock to the tray. One other small thing I noticed is that even with kdm stopped, scim- launcher stays resident. -- skim doesn't always minimize to system tray https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
