[PyKDE] KSystemTray issues

[mbouchar]

Your application doesn't seems to have a name.
I had the same problem when using KStdAction to generate the help menu.

To give a name to your application, you must use KAboutData

This is a modified example of an application I'm developping :

from xxx import version

def getAboutData():
    # Adding informations about the program
    aboutData = KAboutData(version.__program__, version.__program__,
                           version.__version__, version.__description__,
                           KAboutData.License_GPL_V2, version.__copyright__)
    for author in version.__authors__:
        aboutData.addAuthor(author["name"], "", author["email"])
    aboutData.setBugAddress(version.__bugs__)
   
    return aboutData

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Adding some parameters to the application
    sys.argv.extend(['--icon', 'source_py', '--caption',
                     version.__description__ + ' v' + version.__version__])
    aboutData = getAboutData()

    # Initialisation with KCmdLineArgs to use KAboutData
    KCmdLineArgs.init(sys.argv, aboutData)
    # Adding command line options
    KCmdLineArgs.addCmdLineOptions([("+file", "xxx file to open", "")])

    # KApplication with empty arguments, as the application
    # instance is already created
    kapp = KApplication()
