Trying to use KSystemTray - and failing

[jk]

Newbe here

I am trying to get a pixmap to appear in my KDE system tray like
knotes, akregator etc. Cutting out a lot of code the key lines are ...

QPixmap mPixmap;
....
mPixmap = KSystemTray::loadIcon("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/
konserve.png");
setPixmap(mPixmap);

It compiles OK but I end up with a white square on my system tray
rather than the png at usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/konserve.png

Any ideas - probarbly something stupid - I am a newbe

My idea is to ask in a newsgroup dedicated to your platform. See
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/how-to-post.html#faq-5.9

The topic of this group is the C++ language as defined ISO/IEC 14882,
which says nothing about pixmaps or system trays.

You should find a KDE/Qt list or group, this is off topic here.
