Re: [libreoffice-users] Quick start without tray icon?

Hi :)
On Gnu&Linux just switch the Quick Starter off.  It doesn't do much in
Gnu&Linux apparently and might just make things awkward when you
upgrade or try to run multiple versions.

Gnu&Linux is completely different from Windows and designed to be much
more responsive and efficient with resources such as Ram, so you don't
really need to section off a protected space in Ram for LibreOffice or
anything and you don't need to have it quietly running in the
background to make it appear to start faster.  So i don't think you
really get many benefit from having the Quickstarter enabled in
Gnu&Linux.

I take it you are using KDE rather than Gnome or Xfce or anything as
your Desktop Environment?  I think Debian is one of those that gives a
lot of choices so it's not always clear what people have chosen.  The
Debian machines i use have carefully avoided havign any DE at all so
it's all command-line based which is great for servers but not so good
for desktops. On desktops i'm more familiar with Unity (Ubuntu only)
or Gnome (runs on most different flavours of Gnu&Linux).  I've not
really seen KDE in action.  Gnome doesn't really seem to have a
system-tray as such.

Tom :)
