DropDown menu is a window itself

[Arnaudv6]

...it's in the title, when I left-click on tray icon,
menu shows, and a new button appears for its window in my taskbar (fbpanel).

This is not the expected behavior I expect, and proper window properties should be set.

Do we want to make it a pure menu?

With something like this:

diff --git a/src/qlippersystray.cpp b/src/qlippersystray.cpp

-    // This flag is mandatory to get focus when user activates global_key.

     connect(m_shortcutMenu, SIGNAL(triggered(QModelIndex)), m_model, SLOT(indexTriggered(QModelIndex)));
     connect(m_shortcutMenu, SIGNAL(triggered(QModelIndex)), m_shortcutMenu, SLOT(close()));

... it is done. It works on linux. This change doesn't change anything for windows (the #ifdef). But I can't test with MacOS.

Fixes it for me: thanks palinek !
(using linux here), can't help with OSX or Windows.

Not closing yet for it is not mainlined...

[palinek]

I'm not going to make this change into master, because setting the flags seems to be intentional there and I don't know the background...

@pvanek ?

@Arnaudv6 What exact Qt version do you use?

[Arnaudv6]

@martinrotter 5.7.0
...why?
