Yeeha !!!!!!!!
Man U're a GENIUS !!!!
Finally got it working the way i wanted it to be !!
Well... but , there still remains one mysterious problem !!
When i do what u said.. i get the xmms to behave PERFECTLY as desired but my opera also dissappers from the taskbar !!
Though it appears in the alt+tab list .. i cant see it in the taskbar ! but xmms is neither seen on the taskbar nor on the alt+tab list..
My devilspie.xml is as follows :-
<devilspie>
<flurb>
<matchers>
<matcher name="DevilsPieMatcherWindowName">
<property name="application_name" value="XMMS"/>
</matcher>
</matchers>
<actions>
<action name="DevilsPieActionSetWorkspace">
<property name="workspace_index" value="1"/>
</action>
<action name="DevilsPieActionHide">
<property name="skip_tasklist" value="TRUE"/>
</action>
</actions>
</flurb>
</devilspie>
Any ideas are greatly appreciated !! after i get this thing done.. i'll post a nice how-to based on ur instructions so that any one wanting to do the same can do it very easily as described !!
Bye,
Jassi
AND THANK U VERY MUCH for getting me outta this !!

Ok so I emerged devilspie, created the ~/.devilspie.xml and started the program.
Nothing happened.... I looked @ my XMMS window-name and noticed that my window-name isnt XMMS.
Its XMMS - %currentsong
Can that cause problems? or is there another strange reason why it don't work?
Heres my devilspie.xml:
Code: | <devilspie>
<flurb>
<matchers>
<matcher name="DevilsPieMatcherWindowName">
<property name="application_name" value="XMMS"/>
</matcher>
</matchers>
<actions>
<action name="DevilsPieActionSetWorkspace">
<property name="workspace_index" value="1"/>
</action>
<action name="DevilsPieActionHide">
<property name="skip_tasklist" value="TRUE"/>
</action>
</actions>
</flurb>
</devilspie>

if you want to use kstart: define the --window option with the name of the window
example:
Code: |
kstart --window XMMS --skiptaskbar --iconify xmms -p
|
this will launch xmms, not put it in taskbar, not display it and start playing
i have installed the xmms-status-plugin
this setup works great for me..., so thanx to all of you
PS: if you want to define custom icons for xmms-status-plugin: make sure they are 22x22[/code] |

actually, in kde3.3, a kde command exists just for putting things in the system-tray. see:
ksystraycmd --help |

kdocker works for me (minimizing xmms in the tray), i haven't tested anything else though. the only problem is that there is no ebuild for kdocker and i had to install it manually but i believe an ebuild will emerge soon |

I can't find kdocker in emerge. Is there an ebuild, is it bundled in one of the KDE packages, or do you have to hand install it? |

about the kdocker:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67173
An ebuild can be found there
Ow and kdocker does exactly what it should do: target a window and it makes a systray icon for it. No more useless taskbar space eaten up by XMMS: YAY! |
