Smb4K 4.0.7 released

I integrated a merge request into the current development version of Smb4K that allows always docking to the system tray (default setting: 'off'). Additionally, I added an autostart setting that I'll push to the repo soon (default setting: 'off').

Yes, unfortunately this is the case. I am also struggling with this, but haven't found a fix yet that does not involve adding Smb4K to the autostart programs. There are actually also some other shortcomings compared to the Qt5/KF5 series (like unability to unmount shares during session logout). It seems that these are all due to the changes in session management that were introduced in Qt6 / KF6 and maybe also due to some missing pieces in the Wayland implementation (at least that is what I think...

It turns out that this is actually not a bug in Smb4K per se, but a consequence of the way the session management is done in Plasma 6. None of the signals from QCoreApplication or QApplication that used to work under Plasma 5 seem to be usable here anymore. Also, using systemd or ConsoleKit and listening for their signals does not work reliably on session logout either. So, I will have to come up with a different approach to catch the logout.

Hello Steve, it seems you indeed found a bug, because the behaviour should be like you expected. I will take care of it. Meanwhile you are welcome to open a bug report. Kind regards Alexander

I haven't used KDE Linux or any other immutable distro yet, so I don't have any advice at the moment.
