I assume you are talking about KDE 3...

1 - it's nontrivial, unfortunately. Have a look at kopete's kopetewindow.cpp 
or this very simple example from a utility I made. This shows you the minimum 
that you need to do. Also, in the example there is no provision to make 
minimization to tray optional if you click the "X" to close the main window.

quit() is a slot that will be called from File->Close, i.e. only if the 
application really should be terminated.
(class joyKop inherits KMainWindow)

void joyKop::closeEvent( QCloseEvent *e )
{
	e->accept();
}

bool joyKop::queryExit()
{
	saveOptions();
	emit saveState();
	return true;
}

void joyKop::quit()
{
	KApplication::kApplication()->quit();
}

2 - I can't answer this, never done it.
