That's correct. But if the user chooses the "Show system tray on new
mail" mode then KMail's behavior on clicking the X button will be
inconsistent/confusing because if there are no unread messages (and
therefore no systray icon) then KMail would be terminated and if there
are unread messages (and therefore also the systray icon) then KMail
would just be hidden. I don't know whether that's a desirable behavior.
If OTOH the user uses the "Always show system tray" mode then KMail
should behave like the style guide says.
I cc'ed kde-usability for advice how to proceed in the "Show system tray
on new mail" case. Please send all replies also to the bug report
(63480@bugs.kde.org).
Regards,
Ingo
