Anybody please tell me, how can i make my Qt program run as a tray program. I mean when i run the program it should go into the tray.

There isn't anything you can really do to have that happen, considering that is based on each different program. the only program i have ever seen able to do that ... aside from using Wine and running windows applications, was the newest version of Gaim. but that was a little buggy so i went back to pre-0.6 version days when it doesn't allow for it. but if anyone else knows a way, please share so i can learn something new and not feel like a complete goober for telling Satyanand he couldn't do it.

There's a great one for Windoze called TrayIt!, but I don't know of an equivalent for Linux. Or if there even is one...
