Benoit, the Module startup class is a workaround.
The little problem here is that if I have a startup class that is a Form
with a TrayIcon, is not possible to hide it on start. I don't know if this is 
a bug of Gambas or KDE. I attached a little example to explain.
I would like to iconify the app on startup, I mean I don't want to see
the Form, just the icon in KDE kicker. If the the startup class is the FMain 
form, Me.Hide or ME.Visible are unuseful. The Form is shown. If in the same
project you set Module1 as startup class the form finally is not shown and
I see only the trayicon as I want. I hope the issue is more clear, even if my 
english is awful :-) Just run the project and see. The goal is not to show 
the FMain form on start, without using the Module1 startup class. Tell me 
where's the error. 

KDE 3.5.9
QT 3.3.8b
Gambas 2.9 rev 1668

Thank you,

Stefano
