Ubuntu – How to start deluge minimised, only with a tray (notification area) icon

delugenotification-area

I would like Deluge to start upon each startup, so I put deluge-gtk in Startup Applications. Now there is the window appearing each time, and I would like that it starts minimised, only with the notification area icon. Is there a way to do that?

Seems that before it could be set in the Preferences, and there was also a command line string to do it, but these features are gone.

If you start deluge from command line it will start in the tray.

It's an application-specific behavior - you'd need to get the app makers to change it. However, moving it to another desktop will also cause it not to be an eyesore, while alltray as Karni suggested would fill the tray part.

Deluge has a daemon too. I haven't tried deluge since I started using transmission, and I've never tried deluge's daemon, but I know it has one. You might have to install the daemon (deluged) separately. It may be as easy as putting the following line in /etc/rc.local:

sudo -u yourusername deluged

but read the manual page for deluged first (man deluged). You might have to tell it to use the same configuration as the gui version, and it may have a separate init or upstart script, in which case you'll want to edit those instead of /etc/rc.local.
