I use KDE 3.1.1 with Sawfish as WM (it's my favorite WM - don't want to switch to kwin). All KDE apps which should dock in 'systray' part of kicker open small window with icon in it. I saw this in KNotes, Kopete, Psi. All of them docks when I use kwin instead of sawfish. Where is a bug? Gaim 0.6x docks perfectly in panel.
I start X using gdm with X Session:
#!/bin/bash
export GDK_USE_XFT=1 export QT_XFT=1
source ~/.bash_profile
export KDEWM=`which sawfish`
/usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon & /usr/bin/X11/unclutter & /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
source `which startkde`
