It would defeat a little bit the "show ALL network operations in on window" idea, if a long stat would pop up its own dialog though... So maybe it's better to make the icon appear in such a case, after all - we need a way for the user to cancel it, so it has to be either progress window or icon for the listview, we can't just hide the whole thing. > Hmm, I'm pretty sure the KMail systray icon is not there if there's no mail > and I'm 100% sure the KWallet icon is not there on a default config if the > wallet is not in use. Yes - but once it's there, it remains there :) > I don't see a problem with icons coming and going as long as there is a good > cause-and-effect situation for the user and the icon is not going to become a > flashlight coming and going every second or so.
