What confuses me is that the styleguide has said for years: [1]

* Single clicking on the systray icon will show/hide the main interface of 
the application.
* Right clicking will show a popup menu with at least a quit and a 
configure option.

The above means (I only have kmix installed, so correct me if I'm wrong) 
that those applications are not honoring the left click rule and you need 
a middle-click to do what the styleguide says should be default anyway.

I think we are solving the wrong problem with MMB.  Or am I missing 
something here?

1) both in the old

and the new HIG:
