Bug Description
Intercepting close-button does not work in trunk; this needs to be fixed. However, the available options to fix this are unclear, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Being that this bug blocks the 0.7.4dev release, I don't know if that release will be coming on-time or not. Any help with ideas is welcome. The goal is to find a way to do this that is portable between window managers and application software, and does _not_ interefere with the operation of things like drag-and-drop and so forth.
Optionally, you (the community) could decide that this is not a killer feature, and the release will go forward as otherwise planned. But I won't do that without some form of consensus.

I am not a developer at all. However, can't you do the same thing the old versions did?
For me this is actually a quite important feature, especially since I am using the task panel in "auto-hide" mode, where clicking on the systray icon is not a convenient alternative.
BTW, thanks for working on this important application. I've been using the "old" alltray (v0.69) for quite a while now -- first with KDE 3.5, then with KDE 4.1 through 4.3. In all the KDE 4 versions (don't remember about KDE 3.5), catching the execution of the "close" button does not even work flawlessly with v0.69: in many cases, the applications close anyway (I am mainly using thunderbird and sunbird).
