you can remove the minimizeRestore action by not handing the systemtray a 
parent widget (which signifies that it doesn't belong to a window). you can 
also muck with the actions directly if you wish.. here's the docu from 
ksystemtray.h:

    /**
       Easy access to the actions in the context menu
       Currently includes KStdAction::Quit and minimizeRestore
       @since 3.1
    */
    KActionCollection* actionCollection();

of course, the KDE UI standards say that the system tray should show/hide the 
window if there is one, and should always provide access to Quitting the app. 
there are always reasons to create exceptions to the rule, but the guidelines 
are generally there for a good reason and all developers are encouraged to 
follow them.
