OK, this is not a tkorrent bug. Ktorrent sets icon as actvie while download and as passive otherwise:
ktorrent/trayicon.cpp:152 status_notifier_item->setStatus(core->getQueueManager()->getNumRunning(QueueManager::DOWNLOADS) > 0 ? KStatusNotifierItem::Active : KStatusNotifierItem::Passive); So, the issue is, how Unity handle passive icons. It just doesn't show them. ** Changed in: ktorrent (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ktorrent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440884 Title: ktorrent shows the icon only when downloading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ktorrent/+bug/1440884/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
