#107 closed enhancement (fixed)
No "start minimized" option?

Description
There doesn't appear to be any option to start the app minimized.
This is a pretty major missing feature for an app that you always want running in the system tray at startup. Despite Linux's stability, not everyone leaves their system on all of the time - and it gets irritating to have to manually minimize this one app on every boot.
(2.2 revg-20090615182447 under Kubuntu Karmic w/KDE4.3beta2)

Launching QuteCom with "-background" does nothing (the regular window pops up as per normal).
evil@mars:~$ qutecom -background (info) 19:15:06 [Common] void QtLanguage::loadLanguageFromConfig(): no Qt translation available for locale 'en'
Launching with "--background" gets me a segmentation fault.
evil@mars:~$ qutecom --background Segmentation fault
This is not fixed, as far as I can tell.

Just tested with a fresh build on Ubuntu, it works!

I tried re-installing it, but got the same results. So, I decided to add the Cavedon's PPA to my list and force the version to install from there.
That worked!
So, it seems that there's some issue with the version in the Ubuntu repos. I'll open a ticket against it on Launchpad.

Hmmm... I just realized something. The command line parameter isn't very useful.
I mean, it does what it's supposed to do.... but it does nothing when used in conjunction with saved session support. Unless you expect every user to manually add a script for starting up this one program, it's not a friendly workaround.
There needs to be an option in the config.xml.
